Suggestion for using Lombok to reduce boilerplate in entity classes

[gousik-Rao]

Hello maintainers,

I noticed that many entity classes like BaseEntity, Person, NamedEntity manually define getters and setters.
Would you be open to introducing Lombok (e.g. @Getter, @Setter, @DaTa) to simplify these?

Happy to raise a PR if this aligns with the project’s style preference.

Hi! I'd love to work on this issue as my first contribution. I'm planning to add Lombok annotations to reduce boilerplate in entity classes. Let me know if I can proceed. Thanks!

Hi all,

I have opened a pull request to address this issue by replacing the manually written getters, setters, and toString() methods with Lombok annotations such as @Getter, @Setter, and @ToString in the entity classes like BaseEntity, NamedEntity, and Person.

The application builds successfully and all existing tests are passing.

Pull request: #1964

Please let me know if there are any suggestions or required changes. I'm happy to make updates.

Hi
I'm Shirisha, a GSSoC'25 contributor. I noticed this suggestion as well and found it aligns well with clean code principles. If the maintainers are okay with using Lombok (and the project dependencies allow it), I’d be happy to collaborate on this or work on any part where help is needed.

Please let me know if the issue is still open or if you'd prefer someone to lead and others to support.

Thank you!

Hey! @ShirishaGatti , I’m also waiting for a review. There are already a few PRs open for issue #1955, and the last update for this project was 3 weeks ago. Maybe you can try a project that’s getting updates more often.
