Eclipse plugin for Fluent API methods

Question

I'm looking for an eclipse plugin that can generate fluent API methods in my beans.

For instance, given this bean:

public class MyBean {

    private String name;

    private int age;

    //Setters and getters
}

Is there any eclipse plugin that generates these methods for me?

public class MyBean {

    private String name;

    private int age;

    public MyBean withName(String name) {
        setName(name);
        return this;
    }

    public MyBean withAge(int age) {
        setAge(age);
        return this;
    }

    //Setters and getters
}

I've found a google plugin that generates Builder objects, but I prefer fluent API inside each Bean class.

While can't find anything, you can do like me.

Generate the setters, then "Find" (checking "regular expressions") for:

\tpublic void set(.+)\((.+)\) \{\R\t\tthis\.(.+) = (.+);\R\t\}

 and replace with:

\tpublic [PUT_TYPE_HERE] with$1\($2\) \{\R\t\tthis\.$3 = $4;\R\t\treturn this;\R\t\}

Probably there's a simpler expression, but this works ;)

[UPDATE] @ 07-MAR-2018

I'm now using lombok which generates getters, setters and builders throught simple annotations. (@Getter, @Setter and @Builder respectively)

It can generate with methods using the @Wither annotation too, but unfortunately its an experimental feature so it should be avoided.
