Description

Allows bytecode manipulation at compile time using Project Lombok. Think of Lombok as AST transformations for Java source.

Works with Javac only. Eclipse compiler support is forthcoming.

Installation

The current version of griffon-lombok-plugin is 0.1
To install just issue the following command

Usage

The Lombok plugin supports the following transformations

• @Threading - modifies the method body to execute its contents in the appropriate threading context.
• @ThreadingAware - injects the ThreadingHandler interface
• @EventPublisher - injects the EventPublisher interface
• @Bindable - injects the Observable interface.

In the case of @Bindable there are a couple of limitations at the moment that don't make it work exactly as its Groovy counterpart:

• inheritance is not honored. That is, if the super class is already Observable this annotation will still inject the required methods.
• the superclass will be set to AbstractObservable if the annotated class has no extends clause.
• Java has no concept of properties like Groovy does, @Bindable expects all private fields to be properties.

These rules means that the following Java code
