In netbeans 5.5 and lower there was the ability to select an individual field to encapsulate (by having the cursor in the field name) or select all by having the cursor outside of the fields. In Netbeans 6.0 there doesn't appear to be a way of doing a "select all" for the fields to encapsulate. Having the ability to "select all" fields to encapsulate was an extremely nice feature that I'm not sure why it was removed. Perhaps in the checkbox dialog there could be a checkbox above the checkbox columns in order to do a "select all", rather than having to select each individual getter and setter ( a real pain if you have a lot of fields on a new class)
We should implement the functionality that was in nb 5.5, i.e. selecting all fields when having the cursor outside of the fields.
I agree -- it's quite tedious to select every single checkbox when creating getters and setters for a class with many fields.
