It isn't perfect, but Lombok[1] helps with this. It uses annotations to automatically generate getters and setters. The downside, of course, it yet another dependency and more annotations.

You can setup your build process to "delombok" your sources, so that the dependency would only be compile-time (which is pretty neat). Also, Lombok has @Data http://projectlombok.org/features/Data.html

What's even better is @Value with @Builder :) Immutability is the best.
