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)

    The update site does not work any more. I think it is archived.
