[Eclipse] Member variable prefix wrongly added to method name

Question

Hi there,

I am using Eclipse to write some Java code and the naming convention that I am following uses an 'm' as a prefix to any member variables for a class. As soon as I write the member variables I like to go to Source -> Generate Getters and Setters. This generates the methods that I require. However, the method and parameter names all include this 'm' prefix too. I would like Eclipse to ignore the prefix when naming my methods and their parameters. How can I achieve this?

UPDATE: I have already tried Rich's suggestion below without any success. Currently the option is set and I have entered 'm' in the fields section. But Eclipse doesn't seem to take this into account. Clicking on the help icon on the same window brings up a notification saying that this will be taken into account when using 'code assist' and 'refactoring'. Does the 'generate getters/setters' come under code assist?

If you go to Window->Preferences->Java->Code Style and select Fields, then Edit... and add m to the prefix list, your generated accessor methods will take the prefix into account.
