Create automatically only getters in Eclipse

Question

In Eclipse is it possible to create automatically Getters and Setters for a field. But I have a lot of private fields for which only getters should exist. Is somewhere in Eclips

Answer 1

What do you mean by automatically? My plugin lets one create fields with Getters or Setters. You might look into this : http://fast-code.sourceforge.net/. It has simple popup as below:

I should mention that eclipse has create Getters/Setters from the source menu. It also puts a marker beside any private member. Then one just needs to press Ctrl-1. Problem with that is it creates both getters or setters.

Answer 2

One more (may be nasty) way of creating only getters is:

1. Create the member variables with final modifier (such as private final int hoursSpentInSO)
2. While in editor, and press Alt + Shift + s, r (Press the r key after a slight delay)
3. You will get only getters for those final fields, press OK
4. Once getters are generated, remove the final modifier (if required)

Answer 3

On the Generate Setters and Getters screen you have Select getters button on the right - use it.
