What is the disadvantage of Java not having real properties?
<p>So, it's said quite often it's a disadvantage of Java that it does not have properties like <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x9fsa0sw%28VS.80%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">C#</a></p>

<p>What advantage, over the getXX/setXX java-bean style properties would we get if Java gets "native" support for properties ?</p>
