Just like anything else. Put it in a package and just static import it from where-ever you need it.
Umm, cglib https://github.com/cglib/cglib is not reflection - its bytecode enhancement. You can inject, create types dynamically, modify types dynamically - all of it is possible. What you just stated is quite straightforward in Java actually and can be fully transparent to the consumer. It's by no means an "insane amount of work".
Now, if you bring up hot language features - sum types, etc - I agree that Java falls behind. But the stuff you offered as criticisms, Java actually excels.
