Will Hartung,

If you work with JavaFX, then the following issue can be interesting for you -

JavaFX properties look like this:

StringPrroperty nameProperty = new SimpleStringProperty();

public String getName() {
    return nameProperty.get();
}
public void setName(String name) {
    nameProperty.set(name);
}

public StringProperty nameProperty() {
    return nameProperty;
}

There's also a lazy version that won't create the actual property until it's 
used.

StringPrroperty nameProperty;

public String getName() {
    if (nameProperty == null) {
        return null;
    } else {
        return nameProperty.get();
    }
}
public void setName(String name) {
    if (nameProperty == null) {
        nameProperty = new SimpleStringProperty();
    }
    nameProperty.set(name);
}

public StringProperty nameProperty() {
    if (nameProperty == null) {
        nameProperty = new SimpleStringProperty();
    }
    return nameProperty;
}

Finally, there's this version that delays creating a property until it's 
legitimately needed. This is nice if you're doing a bunch of Swing/JavaFX 
crossover stuff. No need for all the properties if the bean is being used in, 
say, a Swing form or table. Also nice for raw loading of beans from a DB for a 
report. JavaFX properties are a bit heavy. But the bean code is just a bit much.

String _name;
StringProperty nameProperty;

public String getName() {
    if (nameProperty != null) {
        return nameProperty.get();
    } else {
        return _name;
    }
}

public void setName(String name) {
    if (nameProperty != null) {
        nameProperty.set(name);
    } else {
        _name = name;
    }
}

public StringProperty nameProperty() {
    if (nameProperty == null) {
        nameProperty = new SimpleProperty(_name);
    }
    return nameProperty;
}

I just use the first, easy style in my work. I'm not working with volumes where 
the properties have been an issue.

Netbeans has never had JavaFX property support that I know of.

Even Lombok does not have support for FX style properties.

Myself, I've been just cutting and pasting into ChatGPT when I need them in bulk. 
"The ultimate wizard".

I love JavaFX properties, they're super powerful.

Regards,

Will Hartung

    PavelTurk,

    Actually, the only difference between the getters/setters in your two 
messages are the content of the getters/setters and the parameter to the 
setter. NB gives you the skeleton, which you then edit to your needs...

    Once you insert the getters/setters through the Source...Insert Code 
(Alt+Insert), you end up with:

    public StringProperty getTest() {
        return test;
    }

    public void setTest(StringProperty test) {
        this.test = test;
    }

    With those skeletons in place, you edit them to fit your needs:

    public String getTest() {
        return test.get();
    }

    public void setTest(String test) {
        test.set(test);
    }

    The code entered by the insert code command is editable, unlike when doing 
visual development in Matisse (which is /actually editable/, if you know how). 
NB cannot know everything that you need, but does its best to aide you in not 
needing to manually type so much boiler-plate code. Once the boiler-plate is in 
place, it is up to the developer to edit the default code to fit their needs.

    I hope this helps you out.

        Hi Tom,

        Thank you for your reply. But I think you didn't pay attention to my 
example. Please, read it and you will understand that it is
        only about JavaFX properties. To make it clear, this is NOT what I need:

             public StringProperty getTest() {
                 return test;
             }

             public void setTest(StringProperty test) {
                 this.test = test;
             }

        Best regards, Pavel
