Lombok @Builder and JPA Default constructor

Question

I\'m using project Lombok together with Spring Data JPA. Is there any way to connect Lombok @Builder with JPA default constructor?

Code:

Answer 1

Using @NoArgsConstructor and @AllArgsContructor will help solve the issue of having a default constructor with @Builder.

e.g

@Entity 
@Builder
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsContructor
class Person {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    private Long id;
}

This is because @Builder requires all argument constructor and specifying only a default constructor will cause an issue.
