In intellij (and I assume eclipse) when you are editing a spring.xml  
file, the IDE recognizes that it is a Spring file so when you type  
<property name= and control-space, you get a pop-up list of valid  
property names in current bean class.  This works because the IDE  
scans the bean class for setters.
