Oh it certainly is elegant given the circumstances and the stated goal of reducing boiler-plate! It does require plugins for each and every IDE (though it degrades gracefully) and I also fear annotation-hell, not to mention composability between these once people start supplementing the nicely packaged/tested ones in lombok.jar.
But it is definitely interesting and I like it a whole lot better than full fledged invasive AOP. Of course if this takes off, Sun will have to change the very definition of an annotation. ;) /Casper On 31 Jul., 05:38, Christian Catchpole <[email protected]> wrote: > On Jul 31, 10:57 am, Casper Bang <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Congrats on realizing your idea.
