Java getter/setter generation with Lombok for code with annotations

Question

I use Project Lombok to automatically generate getter and setter methods for all fields of a Java class.

When a field is annotated with eg @XmlTransient , the annotation is not propagated to the generated getter/setter methods, thus in the resulting code it does not show any effect. Is there a way to use automatic getter/setter generation in conjunction with further annotations?

Answer 1

I don't think propagating annotations to getter/setter methods would work in the general case. For example do you know what would happen if both the field and the bean properties were annotated with @XmlElement ? For JAXB annotations I would suggest using @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD) on the field.
