IntelliJ getter/setter format

Question

How can you get IntelliJ to generate getter/setters on one line like this:

public String getAbc() { return abc; }

Instead of

public String getAbc() {
   return abc;
}

??

Answer 1

You didn't mention what version of IDEA you are using, so I assume the recent 8 or 9.

Check your Code Style settings, under "Alignment and Braces". You should find a "Simple methods in one line" option there.

Answer 2

There are no templates neither for getters nor for equals/hashcode. These are hardcoded in IDEA.

EDIT:

You can see that in this IntelliJ Wishlist

Answer 3

I don't know why you want to do this, presumably for saving visual space. If so, just use IntelliJ's feature to fold trivial getters/setters and forget about how lines does it take. Folding feature can be found in

Settings -> IDE Settings -> Editor -> Code Folding -> Show code folding outline -> Simple property accessors
