The refactoring module in NB 4.0 gives one the option of auto-generating get/set methods and setting the access level of the fields and generated methods. It would be useful to allow the user to be able to select either only "gets" or only "sets" when this is done. Somewhat less useful, but also nice, would be the option to selectively set all gets to one access level and all sets to another. The last point may seem odd, but those who've used hibernate before may appreciate this. Hibernate uses reflection to create objects and having the set methods private discourages changes to objects that are intended to be immutable while still allowing hibernate to create these objects.
