Project Lombok Data Example (Part 5)

In this tutorial I show you how to use Project Lombok @Data annotation in Eclipse IDE.

What is project Lombok and why would I want it?

“Project Lombok is a java library that automatically plugs into your editor and build tools, spicing up your java.”

What this essentially means, it will automatically generate common java boilerplate code (such as getters, setters, constructors, tostring etc) with a couple of annotations. This is done at compile time and weaved into your bytecode, this means project Lombok does not need be on the executables classpath during production.
