      Create getter and setter

    <p>
      This dialog lets select the Getter and Setter methods to create.
    </p>
	<p>
     Use <strong>Generate Getter and Setter</strong> from the <a href="ref-menu-source.htm">Source menu</a> or the context menu on a selected field or type, or a text selection in
    a type to open the dialog.
     The Generate Getter and Setter dialog shows Getter and Setters for all fields of the selected type. The methods are grouped by the type's fields. 
	 </p>
    <p>
      The names of the getting and setting methods are derived from the field name. If you use a prefix or suffix for fields (e.g. fValue, _value, val_m), you can specify the
      suffixes and prefixes in the <a href="ref-preferences-code-generation.htm">Code Generation preference page</a> (Windows &gt; Preferences &gt; Java &gt; Code Generation).
    </p>
    <p>
