@Getter and @Setter

Overview

You can annotate any field with @Getter and/or @Setter, to let lombok generate the default getter/setter automatically.
A default getter simply returns the field, and is named getFoo if the field is called foo (or isFoo if the field's type is boolean). A default setter is named setFoo if the field is called foo, returns void, and takes 1 parameter of the same type as the field. It simply sets the field to this value.

The generated getter/setter method will be public unless you explicitly specify an AccessLevel, as shown in the example below. Legal access levels are PUBLIC, PROTECTED, PACKAGE, and PRIVATE.

Small print

For generating the method names, the first character of the field, if it is a lowercase character, is title-cased, otherwise, it is left unmodified. Then, get/set/is is prefixed.

No method is generated if any method already exists with the same name, even if the parameter list is different. For example, getFoo() will not be generated if there's already a method getFoo(int x) even though it is technically possible to make the method. This caveat exists to prevent confusion. If the generation of a method is skipped for this reason, a warning is emitted instead.

Any variation on boolean will not result in using the is prefix instead of the get prefix; for example, returning java.lang.Boolean results in a get prefix, not an is prefix.
