Cool.  Looks like the right approach to me.  The problem I have with
'just recompiling javac' is that it's not very friendly in a typical
dev environment.

1.  I have to tell my boss we are using a 'custom' java compiler.
2.  I have to make sure that is 'patched' everywhere.  On dev machines
and on CI servers etc.
3.  When someone downloads the latest JDK, a re-patch is required.  It
increases the risk of getting 'stuck on a version'.

The Lombok approach works because it can be seen as just another
dependency to your project.  Not hacky shenanigans. If the trickery
happens at runtime it makes your build process repeatable and
predictable.
