IntelliJ getter/setter format (single-line versus multi-line)

How can you get IntelliJ to generate getter/setters accessor methods on one line like this:

public String getAbc() { return abc; }

… instead of multiple lines like this:

public String getAbc() {
   return abc;
}

I don't know why you want to do this, presumably for saving visual space. If so, just use IntelliJ's feature to fold trivial getters/setters and forget about how lines does it take. Folding feature can be found in

Settings -> IDE Settings -> Editor -> Code Folding -> Show code folding outline -> Simple property accessors

Alex G and laffuste provided answers that helped me, but even after you follow these instructions, IntelliJ may still automatically format your code. To stop this from happening, go to Settings -> Editor -> Code Style -> Java (or other language). Click on the tab titled "Wrapping and Braces". Under the title "Keep when reformatting" click the checkbox next to "Simple methods in one line".

For further brevity, you can eliminate the blank lines between the getter and setter methods. To do this, click on the tab titled "Blank Lines". In the section titled "Minimum Blank Lines", find the text box next to "Around method". Enter 0 in the text box.

Get

public ##
#if($field.modifierStatic)
static ##
#end
$field.type ##
#set($name = $StringUtil.capitalizeWithJavaBeanConvention($StringUtil.sanitizeJavaIdentifier($helper.getPropertyName($field, $project))))
get##
${name}(){ return $field.name; }

Set

#set($paramName = $helper.getParamName($field, $project))
#if($field.modifierStatic)
static ##
#end
void set$StringUtil.capitalizeWithJavaBeanConvention($StringUtil.sanitizeJavaIdentifier($helper.getPropertyName($field, $project)))($field.type $paramName) { ##
#if ($field.name == $paramName)
    #if (!$field.modifierStatic)
    this.##
    #else
        $classname.##
    #end
#end
$field.name = $paramName; }
