It _ **is** _ a shortcut. Like `.quality` above is short for `.getQuality()`. Jython automatically recognizes Java getters and setters that follow the NetBeans pattern and treats them as jython object attributes.

- `object.getSomething()` can be replaced with `object.something`.
- `object.setSomething(newValue)` can become `object.something = newValue`.
- For booleans, `object.isSomething()` becomes `object.something`.

This is a standard across the Java ecosystem (JSP, Struts, et cetera).
