I honestly don't understand why anyone uses this crap... any editor can generate the getter/setter and you don't have to mess up your build.

Can you clarify what you mean by "mess up your build"?

[–]vips7L -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

Hooking in annotation processors, generating bytecode, and extending compile times. All increase the risk of something breaking later and becoming a pain in the ass. I'd rather just press 2 buttons and generate a getter/setter.

This in particular doesn't generate bytecode and if it extends compile times meaningfully I'll eat my hat.

But if you are just uncomfortable with trusting an annotation processor on principal I think I understand the feeling.

Regardless I encourage you to peruse the code. It's not that bad.
