Lombok has a lot of issues. First and foremost it won't compile for people who don't bother installing it for their IDE. This greatly hampers OSS collaboration

Lombok has a lot of issues. First and foremost it won't compile for people who don't bother installing it for their IDE. This greatly hampers OSS collaboration because it raises barriers of entry. I know there is delombok but the whole stuff comes with a lot of drawbacks. Reorganize my project just to delombok my project...whoa...
- latchkey 9y agoIt is nearly impossible to code any amount of Java without a proper IDE (Eclipse/IDEA). Or at least it isn't a sane decision to do so. Lombok is well supported in both of those IDE, especially for the use case of @Data/@Getter/@Setter. Installing it is just as easy as adding any other dependency (especially in IDEA with it's plugin ecosystem). It really is too bad this isn't just installed as default in the IDE though. Heck, I'd even suggest it be part of the language itself. But for now, we just shrug, install it and get back to coding. =)
