Projects exist to to make a light weight property syntax. The most prominent might be @Getter and @Setter from lombok (https://projectlombok.org/ https://projectlombok.org/), but there are others which have similar goals (e.g. http://immutables.github.io/ http://immutables.github.io/, https://github.com/google/auto https://github.com/google/auto). That said, I agree that java _really_ needs something like this built in.
