Hi

We tried to use together Java Records (Java 21) and ModelMapper (3.1.1) and added this dependency to our project. However the conversion still fails.

Here's source code:

public class Starter {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ModelMapper modelMapper = new ModelMapper();
        modelMapper.registerModule(new RecordModule());
        MyClass obj = new MyClass();
        MyRecord record = modelMapper.map(obj, MyRecord.class);

    }

    public static record MyRecord(int i) {}

    public static class MyClass {
        public int i;
    }

}

Here's exception:

Exception in thread "main" org.modelmapper.MappingException: ModelMapper mapping errors:

1) Failed to instantiate instance of destination com.example.demo.Starter$MyRecord. Ensure that com.example.demo.Starter$MyRecord has a non-private no-argument constructor.

Only Record -> Pojo is working at the moment. Pojo -> Record doesn't work yet.

Do you support Pojo -> Record now?
