I very much doubt it, since that breaks both normal Java naming conventions for methods and the JavaBeans properties rules.

I would strongly, strongly recommend that you abide by Java naming conventions. Why would you want to make your code look inconsistent with all the other Java libraries including the standard library?

Not to mention the way this would make his code incompatible with all sorts of things which use reflection and depend on the JavaBeans rules. – Paul Tomblin Jan 02 '11 at 18:53

The first example of needing properly named getters and setters that comes to mind is serialization. – Brian Jan 03 '11 at 20:16
@Brian XMLEncoder/XMLDecoder require well-formed setters and getters, but ObjectOutputStream/ObjectInputStream do not. – Mike Clark Jan 05 '11 at 20:12

This is not possible because Eclipse follows Java naming conventions for generating getters and setters.
