Enhancement request.

Java language refactor wizard should when refactoring standard object setters
also update the argument name PROVIDING it follows standard java argument
conventions otherwise it should leave as-is.

Before refactor:

public void setMyStringVar(String myStringVar) {
 this.myStringVar = myStringVar;
}

After refactor:

public void setYourStringVar(String myStringVar) {
 this.yourStringVar = myStringVar;
}

Notice the argument name is still "myStringVar".  The code change is simply a
cosmetic change to reduce the change of confusing the developer at a later date
due to thinking this code has never been audited/reviewed.


To test:

1) Create new Class of any name.
2) Create member variable "private String myStringVar;"
3) Create using wizzard standard getters and setters for this member variable.
4) Now highlight variable declaration.
5) Select refactor.
6) Change name to yourStringVar"
7) Tick all the boxes to update getters and setters too.
8) Now look at the change getters and setters code it will look like this:
