Java method naming conventions

I have a boolean field called showLabels in a Bean class, and I want to provide getter and setter methods for it. The setter will be setShowLabels, but should the getter be isShowingLabels, isShowLabels (that's really weird sounding), or setShowLabels?

It should be isShowLabels weird as that may sound, that's the convention. You could always rename the boolean to showingLabels.
