Re: Java Style Question

Performance is never a non-issue.  That's true.  But its hard to find
situations where your performance problem is
the result of calling a set method or a get method on an object vs. an
algorithm or an object reuse problem.  I'm
not saying the situation doesn't exist... just that its rarely a 'save the
day' performance solution and usually used
as a bandage to cover up the real problem.

Democracy's enemies have always underestimated the courage of the American
people.
It was true at Concord Bridge.  It was true at Pearl Harbor.  And it was
true today.

Performance
is never a non-issue, and it is because programmers who are either
unwilling
or unable to optimize treat performance as a non-issue that we're
stuck in
this insane spiral of bloatware guaranteed to need more processing
power
than the typical end-user has.

I use setter/getter methods where it makes
sense to do so. But not in
situations where there's nothing to be gained
from using them.
