What I object to (no pun intended) is having to write all those stinkin'
set/get methods. Why can't I just write:
private, public int foo; // private data member, public
accessors
which will (tacitly) generate:
int getFoo() { return foo;}
void setFoo( int Foo ) { foo = Foo;}
with appropriate calls to super.get/set methods in cases of derived classes.
Then, if I have too, I can override tacit methods by explicitely writing
method bodies.
Okay, Alaric: which language already does this? A hybrid approach such as
XML Schema + Castor is one (imperfect) approach that's not going to win any
popularity contests on this list.
