Methods that actually do something should be verbs, but if it's just reading a property it should look like it's just reading a property. And having all the methods on a class start with get* is a pain for autocompletion.

Hmm. I guess you're right. I dislike Groovy in other areas so it's not a path I've gone deep down.
Especially for private APIs i Java I have actually tended to default to public final members, without verbs.
