OK, so we've established that neither Eclipse nor Lombok will do what
the OP needs. Are there any other alternatives?
I found myself needing something very similar only last week. In my
case, it was for a simple immutable value type (using Lombok's
lovely @Data) to which I wanted to add fluent builder style methods,
e.g.:
@Data
class Node {
private final float x;
private final float y;
// Lombok generates getX(), getY(), but not setX(), setY()
// because x, y are final.
// Lombok generates Node(float x, float y) constructor
// since x and y are final.
Node withX(float x) {
return new Node(x, y);
}
Node withY(float y) {
return new Node(x, y);
}
}
I ended up firing up emacs and defining a ad-hoc keyboard macro
to grind out the code for me. Yea! More boilerplate for the next
developer to wade through! huzzah!
How difficult would it be for someone inexperienced with Lombok's
internals to add something like this?
Stuff like this is why I'm glad there's more than just Java on the
JVM. For example, a Lisp (like Clojure) makes this kind of code
generation drudgery easy via its civilized [1] macro support.
[1] where uncivilized == the C preprocessor.
