VimGolf - real Vim ninjas count every keystroke!

Getters & Setters: Java

Boilerplate getters & setters - it's a tedious fact of life in Java, and probably the only thing that still pulls me back to an IDE. Perhaps someone knows a fast, pure vim way...

Start file

package com.vimgolf.challenge;

public class Person {
	private String firstName;
	private String surname;
	private Integer age;
}

End file

package com.vimgolf.challenge;

public class Person {
	private String firstName;
	private String surname;
	private Integer age;

	public String getFirstName() { return firstName; }
	public void setFirstName( String firstName ) {
		this.firstName = firstName;
	}

	public String getSurname() { return surname; }
	public void setSurname( String surname ) {
		this.surname = surname;
	}

	public Integer getAge() { return age; }
	public void setAge( Integer age ) {
		this.age = age;
	}
}

@johnsyweb: Why use an IDE, Kris? I'd take a plug-in approach: https://github.com/johnsyweb/dotfiles/blob/master/.vim/ftplugin/java.vim
