In c# you can setup properties like this:
public int CustomerId {get;set;}
Which sets up an automatic property called CustomerId, but I was wondering if there was anything similar in Java?
Properties is a subclass of Hashtable. It is used to maintain a list of values in which the key is a string and the value is also a string i.e; it can be used to store and retrieve string type data from the properties file. Properties class can specify other properties list as it's the default.
properties file inside your resource folder of the java project. The extension we use for the properties file is . properties.
properties is a file extension for files mainly used in Java-related technologies to store the configurable parameters of an application. They can also be used for storing strings for Internationalization and localization; these are known as Property Resource Bundles.
No, Java has nothing similar at the moment. Heck, properties in Java are mostly just conventions of get/set methods, rather than being genuinely understood by the compiler as they are in C#. Tools and libraries recognise the get/set pattern, but the language doesn't know about them. (It's possible that in a future version of Java, there'll be more "formal" support.)
Some Java-like languages such as Groovy do have automatic property generation, however.
No, there isn't such a thing in Java.
In Eclipse, however, you can automatically implement getter/setter methods for fields with Source > Generate Getters/Setters.
