What's the advantage of using getters and setters - that only get and set - instead of simply using public fields for those variables? If getters and setters are ever doing more than just the simple get/set, I can figure this one out very quickly, but I'm not 100% clear on how: public String foo; is any worse than: private String foo; public void setFoo(String foo) { this.foo = foo; } public String getFoo() { return foo; } Whereas the former takes a lot less boilerplate code.
