As of the latest stable build, Eclipse now supports removing prefix such as m_ from instance variables when creating getters/setters. That's great! However, there's still room for improvement. For instance: * Code assist suggests intelligent variable names without prefix. E.g: MyQuickHandle qu<code assist> produces "quickHandle" as the first suggestion. But when using a prefix, this does not work: MyQuickHandle m_qu<code assist> produces no suggestions at all. * Checking that all instance variables are consistently named. I'm thinking of something like "Organize imports", that automatically adds your favourite prefix (like m_ in my case) to all instance variables that doesn't have it already, and removes any other prefix (like _).
Along similar lines, and perhaps implied by the above comment, it would also be good to be able to remove a prefix like 'm_' from instance variable names. (Personally, I find they reduce code readability and are unnecessary when all the required info is at your fingertips in an IDE like Eclipse.)
