Auto-Generate Getters and Setters in Flex Builder

Posted: December 21st, 2007 | Author: Tiago Bilou | Filed under: Actionscript3, Tutorial | 6 Comments »

I've been writing a lot of getters and setters lately (and spending way too much time doing that...), so I googled for some sort of plug-in for Eclipse/Flex Builder and found a great resource called Project Dash Here's a nice script to use with Dash to generate getters and setters for your variables ;)

  1. Inside FlexBuilder goto Help->Software Updates->Find and Install (if you ran into an error about retrieving "feature.xml" delete the site.xml file in your Flex Builder directory)
  2. add the remote update url ; update and restart
  3. when you restart you should see a Scripts menu and a Project in your workplace called Eclipse Monkey Examples
  4. Create a new file (with a .js extension) in the scripts folder inside the Eclipse Monkey Examples
  5. Write you monkey script in there (copy and paste the script to generate the getters and setters into the new file)
