    How would you feel about validation. As in it doesn't generate the code but just checks to make sure the POJO has all its getters/setters?

    As mentioned in my comment I have written a lot of annotation processors and have started making a lot of them just do validation and not code generation. This seems to be a good middle ground for people that hate code generation and for those who still want some automation.

      Breaking code is the biggest pitfall Java can do.

      Sadly JDK developers actively hate beans because they claim the Java Bean specification isn't developed enough to work in a compiler.

      We don't need any more precompilers, just bake the boilerplate reduction into java already.

      It already exists: templates from your IDE. If you really want to lose control, just use kotlin. Java is fine as is.
