Thats one of the things that'll happen to you if you start writting groovy code. The whole setter/getter boilerplate thing gets really annoying.

Another groovy-ism.. the whole deal with having to copy properties. (In a groovy class they're threated like a map)

Except in hard to remember special cases like .class which gives the class "LinkedHapMap" of the map object instead of the value at key "class". After working with Groovy for a short while you'll realize you're really working around it.
