Lombok #46

Closed tomaszkolodziej closed 8 years ago

tomaszkolodziej commented 8 years ago

Add lombok support.

Why lombok was removed in version 1.9.0? Is there was any reason to remove lombok from project?

kucharzyk commented 8 years ago

Lombok is great tool and I use it everyday in my work but:

It may not survive changes in java 9
You need lombok plugin for your IDE (some users may be disoriented)
It may be source of problems if You don't know how it works like @EqualsAndHashcode which don't call superclass by default.
Everyone can add lombok on his own. Delombok is harder.

Do you think it's worth adding Lombok?

tomaszkolodziej commented 8 years ago

I don't know nothing about java 9 :)
agree, some users may be disoriented to install lombok plugin in intellij or other ide,

Ok, may be better option to wait. I will wait for java 9 and open this question/task or (may be better solution) add lombok plugin on my own (after java 9 released).

I've checked current status of Lombok:

There was no single commit for about 3 moths.
There are still some issues with upcomming jdk9

tsukhu commented 8 years ago

I agree .. Ideally lets keep the starter project related to the Spring and Angular 2 eco-system only. Add-ons like lombok should be left to the developers discretion

In the future We can consider Immutables or AutoValue as better (but less powerfull) alternatives.

For now I'm closing this issue
