Refactoring: Use lombok for simple getters & setters
As Lombok is available throughout the project and also used in a couple of places, we can use it to remove several thousand lines of boilerplate code. This PR applies mostly @Getter and @Setter annotations wherever feasible, while not replacing any getter or setter methods that already have annotations (which could be facilitated via the onX meta-annotation, however for now refraining from using it as it is still experimental).
This makes the code base and – most importantly – the cognitive complexity to work through the repo considerably smaller. Also the declarative approach has the advantage that one can see immediately if a field is exposed in the public API by just looking at the declaration annotation.
This PR also contains some Javadoc and @Override annotation fixes and removes identical implementations in inherited classes.
PR checklist
- [x] Read the contribution guidelines.
- [x] Pull Request title clearly describes the work in the pull request and Pull Request description provides details about how to validate the work. Missing information here may result in delayed response from the community.
- [x] Run the following to build the project and update samples:
(For Windows users, please run the script in Git BASH) Commit all changed files. This is important, as CI jobs will verify all generator outputs of your HEAD commit as it would merge with master. These must match the expectations made by your contribution. You may regenerate an individual generator by passing the relevant config(s) as an argument to the script, for example./mvnw clean package ./bin/generate-samples.sh ./bin/configs/*.yaml ./bin/utils/export_docs_generators.sh./bin/generate-samples.sh bin/configs/java*. IMPORTANT: Do NOT purge/delete any folders/files (e.g. tests) when regenerating the samples as manually written tests may be removed. - [x] File the PR against the correct branch:
master(upcoming 7.1.0 minor release - breaking changes with fallbacks),8.0.x(breaking changes without fallbacks) - [x] If your PR is targeting a particular programming language, @mention the technical committee members, so they are more likely to review the pull request.
@wing328 This PR was lying dormant for over two weeks as it appears the automatically assigned reviewer is unavailable. I've now rebased everything on ~main~ master – would you be able to take over for a review here?
Would love this to go in first so i can rebase my other open PRs on it (as it greatly simplfies things with ~3500 LOC saved).
thanks for the PR. overall it looks good as it simplifies the code.
can you please resolve the merge conflicts when you've time? we can definitely give it a try.
