Use of lombok in entity definition

Ideas
1

Hi,

#www.data-ware.it

we often use lombok in our rest projects
#https://projectlombok.org/
to let code be more easy to read.

why dont you integrate lombok ?
you could remove al get and set methods in the entity declaration.

I think you already know the lombok library.
So I’m courious to know why you dont use it

Stefano

Hello,
would this work? I haven’t tried it myself.

Kind regards,

Yes it works!
very well.
I use it since 6 years more or less …

example:

// www.data-ware.it

package it.dataware.test.model.entities;

import lombok.Data;
import org.checkerframework.checker.units.qual.Length;
import org.hibernate.annotations.Generated;
import org.hibernate.annotations.GenerationTime;

import javax.persistence.*;
import java.io.Serializable;

@Data
@Entity
@Table(name = “Countries”)
public class Country implements Serializable {
@Id
@Column(name = “CodeISO”, insertable = false, updatable = false, length = 2)
@Generated(GenerationTime.INSERT)
private String id;

@Column(name = "Name", length = 50)
private String nome;

}

get & set of attributes are generate automatically.

Please never use @Data for Jmix entities. It will prevent correct generation of equals/hashCode methods by entity enhancement.

ok. I dont use it in JMix.
the question is why Jmix (developers) cannot use Lombok ?

In fact you can. Just at your own risk, we don’t test this.

Lombok is often became the source of development workflow breaks and unexpected behaviour in code. This makes developers in love with IDE productivity features like code generartion with Alt+Insert menu:)
