getter and setter generation with annotations

submited by krishnas on Thu Sep 30th, 2010

I discovered lombok which uses annotations to generate getters and setters. http://projectlombok.org/index.html Is this recommended? Another question is: Is it better to make all the fields which should be accessed by other objects public and access fields instead of getters/setters - encapsulation is therefore secured? So I do not need to write that boilerplate code an do not need something like lombok.
