  • Method name (editable) - Accessor method name. Can be adjusted by user.
  • Parameter name (editable) - Name of the parameter of the accessor method (if applicable). Can be adjusted by user.
  • Parent (read only) - Checked if the variable is defined in some parent class and not in the selected class itself.

Customizations

There is no parametrization available - modify the source code if needed. For example, if you want to change the default method prefix, adjust the getPrefix() method in the TmpDevAccessorMethod table.
