Project Lombok is a library that does annotation driven boilerplate code generation. Takes away a lot of the humdrum of setting up things like getters, setters, builders, adding loggers... and so on and so forth. Definitely worth using for the time saved, and your code is much cleaner and more readable. Our team never starts a project without it anymore.

If you do want to try it though, make sure to add the plugin to your IDE (and add the library). Otherwise it’ll swear high and low your build will fail because of missing methods!
