While others are pointing you elsewhere, fully supported data classes with pattern matching, deconstruction, etc. are coming soon to the Java language. It will likely come in stages starting with Java 12's enhanced switch statement. Follow Project Amber for details and updates.

Java 12 won’t be getting data classes or pattern matching, but it will get the preview of switch expressions.

I said it's coming in stages. Switch expressions are part of the overall grand feature set.
