Getters and Setters in Eclipse for Hungarian Style Members

Question

The project I'm working on dictates hungarian notation for class member variables. Example: String m_foo;

Is it possible to make Eclipse strip the hungarian prefix when generating getters and setters? I'm using Helios and it suggests (not surprisingly) getM_foo and setM_foo, but I want getFoo and setFoo. Code Templates doesn't look helpful.

ask if you can dispense with the hungarian and ask to dictate the use of getters and setters — ratchet freak, Oct 16 '11 at 12:04
Or you could probably create your own Eclipse plug-in to do this. — Hovercraft Full Of Eels, Oct 16 '11 at 12:08
When I started the job I was told: Use our code style and do not even question it. xD — user362178, Oct 16 '11 at 14:28

In the preference page Java>Code Style, in the naming conventions table, select the "Fields" row, press the Edit button, and type "m_" in the Prefix list.

This also helps with Code Assist when generating fields.

You can also specify a prefix for static fields via the same table.

Go to "Preferences". Find the node "Java" -> "Code Style". Add "m_" to the "Fields" as a prefix.

That should do it!
