Hello, I'm going to utilize Lombok in a CM design experiment. Once the experiment is done CM can decide if it likes Lombok. I know that CM tries to stay dependency free, so I just want to make clear that Lombok is compile time only: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6107197/how-does-lombok-work
Lombok eliminates the need to code boilerplate plate code, like getters, setters, toString(). It can also generate a fluid builder for configuration objects, check for null arguments, etc. It also has an @Synchronized annotation that is an improvement on the synchronized keyword. Lombok alters the byte code, keeping the source code clean and minimal. The additional generated code and be seen using an Eclipse plugin. So for example when looking at the outline view, you can see the generated getters, etc. https://standardofnorms.wordpress.com/2013/05/10/reducing-java-boilerplate-code-with-lombok-with-eclipse-installation/ Cheers, - Ole --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
