Lombok makes Java cool again

The downside is that you'll need to install it into your IDE. And again when you upgrade it. I guess the version needs to loosely match the one your projects use too. That might not sound like a lot but some colleagues hate that overhead.

I love it though, think I've been using it for at least 8 years now in just about every Java project.

If you work on a lot of different projects with different versions of Lombok, do you have to have multiple versions of the IDE plugin installed / is that even possible?

Lombok doesn't really change that much/often. I've been using it for a decade on projects of varying ages and never noticed a problem.

Yep, also never had an issue with it in practice.
