1
00:00:01,370 --> 00:00:04,580
In this lesson, you will generate getters and setters.

2
00:00:06,330 --> 00:00:12,810
Go to the extension's marketplace, and then there look for the Java code generators extension.

3
00:00:13,170 --> 00:00:16,890
Once you do install it, enable it, do whatever you have to do.

4
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,770
I already have it installed and enabled.

5
00:00:20,220 --> 00:00:24,150
And just to be on the safe side, close your editor and re-open it.

6
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:26,620
Once you do.

7
00:00:27,710 --> 00:00:34,460
Well, we're going to do is delete all of the getters and setters that we've made so far.

8
00:00:36,460 --> 00:00:44,890
And now we can just right click, say, Java code generators and click on Generate Getters and Setters.

9
00:00:47,980 --> 00:00:53,890
And now you'll notice that when you generate your gutters, it uses this make when you really don't

10
00:00:53,890 --> 00:00:54,550
need to.

11
00:00:55,620 --> 00:01:00,870
Because the purpose of this is to distinguish between the field of the current object that's calling

12
00:01:00,870 --> 00:01:03,990
this method and the parameter that gets passed in.

13
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:05,310
Here.

14
00:01:05,310 --> 00:01:11,250
If you just say return make, it's automatically going to return the field of the current object calls

15
00:01:11,250 --> 00:01:11,990
get make.

16
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,970
But it's also a good practice to put the this keyword anyway so you can remove the this keyword you

17
00:01:17,970 --> 00:01:18,450
can leave.

18
00:01:18,450 --> 00:01:23,580
It doesn't really matter in this context, but because that's what was generated, we're going to leave

19
00:01:23,580 --> 00:01:23,910
it.

20
00:01:24,510 --> 00:01:31,620
That being said, I am rarely ever going to use the Java code generators extension in this course because

21
00:01:31,620 --> 00:01:35,880
I want you to get used to writing your own getters and setters.

22
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,620
I think it's really good practice.

23
00:01:37,620 --> 00:01:43,740
So this will probably be the last time that you see me using the code generators extension, but if

24
00:01:43,740 --> 00:01:46,890
you really want to use it yourself, then knock yourself out.

25
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:50,990
In this lesson you generated getters and setters.
