I guess I'm wondering if the "design pattern" (I think that's the correct term) where you use "setters" and "getters" applies to JavaBeans only or to other things as well.

If you look at the classes that come with Java, you will see that pattern quite a bit. Some classes, notably the String class, are immutable, so they will not have any mutator (set) methods, but they usually have accessor (get) methods.
