I know everyone loves removing boilerplate, but an IDE can easily manage the getters and setters and thus this is just unnecessary dependencies... =) and complicates building etc.
The build is straight forward. All major IDEs have support for Lombok (IntelliJ Idea, Eclipse...) As usual, the decision is on the maintainer. For me, less code is better.
@subhra74 Please consider merging this PR as it will be quite helpful later while code cleanup.
please do not add unnecessary dependencies. removing boilerplate code is, in my opinion, not the most pressing issue in software development.
@andy-goryachev : I agree, removing boilerplate code is not the most pressing issue. @eitch : I often see projects having IDE generated getters and setters and equals and hashCode. The issue comes up when someone adds a property later on and doesn't keep all of these in sync. I personally like the lombok approach much better. So I would vote to merge the PR
Lombok doesn't only provide getter/setter but also provide other functionality like logger, builders etc thats why I asked to get it merged. Anyways its up to the maintainer.
