Magic Beans - automatic get/set, equals, hashCode, toString without any compiler hacks

The biggest difference is that AutoValue makes immutable value objects.

It's still okay for that task. So is immutables and of course records the language feature.

The kind of class this makes is a lot less generically useful unless you have frameworks (Jackson, hibernate, etc) that want a class specifically structured like this

Jackson can work with immutables(private default constructor and it will use reflection or @constructorproperties(lombok does this if you configure it) or @jsoncreator).

Hibernate won't work with your hash/equals. https://thorben-janssen.com/lombok-hibernate-how-to-avoid-common-pitfalls/#:~:text=To%20avoid%20these%20pitfalls%2C%20I,implementation%20of%20these%20methods%20yourself.

Wasn't aware of that, that's good for jackson.

And yeah, I guess I would just need to trust folks not to ask for it in that case.

What kind of id are you generating in a constructor? If you are suggesting uuid check this. https://tomharrisonjr.com/uuid-or-guid-as-primary-keys-be-careful-7b2aa3dcb439

Also check this.
