How can I automatically add properties in Objective-C

Questions

When adding new properties to classes, I find myself typing the same things over and over in xcode:

• add TYPE *NAME; (in .h interface)
• add @property (nonatomic, retain) TYPE *NAME; (in .h)
• add @synthesize NAME; (in .m)
• add [NAME release]; (in .m dealloc)

(I m in a non-garbage collected environment.)

How can I do this automatically?

That sounds about right. IIRC, the Objective-C 2.0 doc says you might be able to leave out step #1, but otherwise I don t know of any shortcuts.
