I've said that Java is clearly rougher in this than e.g. Scala, but it
does work, and doesn't require more than a library (e.g. lombok.jar).
Scala has been designed from the ground up to support inner DSL and we
can't really ask Java for doing the same job.
have to worry about two DSLs conflicting with each other (ignoring
implicit
conflicts for a moment) and they don't make classloading or compilation
any
more difficult.
I'm not aware that Lombok, e.g., creates problem with classloading. I'm
using it everywhere, including the NetBeans Platform (which does heavy use
of classloaders) and Android and it just works. I've only had a problem
when using it together AspectJ static weaving, but it was more a problem
with the AspectJ Maven plugin that missed an option that makes the two
technologies live happily together.
