Generating get/set and abstract method bodies is only necessary in Java.

Find-and-replace, auto-complete and docs are of course useful generally.

"Generating get/set and abstract method bodies is only necessary in Java" On smalltalk instance variables are private, so if you want get/set it's value you need a getter/setter. You can argument that this is bad oo design, but it's not java exclusive.
