Lombok is an useful project created to remove the boilerplate code and you can concentrate on your code.

you can add lombok jar using following maven dependency:

<groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>

<artifactId>lombok</artifactId>

<scope>provided</scope>

</dependency>

</dependencies>

Here, i have created a java bean using lombok annotation to create setters, getters, hascode, equals, toString, builder methods and constructors.

And we can add logs, commons and more to ease our programming.

Person.java:

import lombok.AllArgsConstructor;

import lombok.Builder;

import lombok.EqualsAndHashCode;

import lombok.Getter;

import lombok.NoArgsConstructor;

import lombok.Setter;

import lombok.ToString;

@Getter

@Setter

@NoArgsConstructor

@AllArgsConstructor(staticName="of")

@EqualsAndHashCode(of={"name","age"})

@Builder

@ToString

public class Person {

private String name;

private int age;

private String description;

public static void main(String[] args) {

Person aPerson = new Person();

aPerson.setName("Lenin");

aPerson.setAge(29);

aPerson.setDescription("Software Engineer");

System.out.println(aPerson.getAge());

System.out.println(aPerson.getName());

System.out.println(aPerson.getDescription());

Person bPerson = Person.of("Lenin", 29, "Software Engineer");

System.out.println(aPerson.equals(bPerson));

Person person = Person.builder().name("Lenin").age(29).description("Engineer").build();

System.out.println(person);

}

you can implement same using @Data annotation with less code.
