Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Consuming and Testing third party API's using Spring Webclient
The above class maps the json data to a java object we can work with. We use Lombok to generate constructors, getters and setters for our code and the Jackson Project to handle serialization and deserialization of json to pojo . We know the response is an array of objects representing the coffee and so above data structure is fit for this.

💻 7 Open-Source DevTools That Save Time You Didn't Know to Exist ⌛🚀
Almost a decade ago, I started reducing my boilerplate (and saving time with Lombok. It made my life much easier, simple as that. Ever since I've been looking into finding the smoothest solutions for saving time rather than handling all of it myself.

How to prevent NullPointerExceptions in Java
Lombok is a widely used library that simplifies Java code. The @NonNull annotation helps enforce non-null parameters, generating appropriate null checks:

Feedback on a new annotation processor api
I gotta agree with /u/rzwitserloot I don't see anything in the lombok repo that indicates they have their "own compiler". I see the "reaching into javac internals" but that's it.

Does any tooling exist for Java to add @NotNull to every parameter, return type, field, etc. by default?
i looked into that and found this: https://github.com/projectlombok/lombok/issues/2310

Would this OpenJDK proposal make Java easier to learn?
Funny enough; /u/rzwitserloot is the author of Lombok, one of the most widely used Java libraries in the world. So it's not really some kind of random-ass Redditor they're having a discussion with either.

Kotlin : A Java developer's perspective
This removes the need to add the 'Project Lombok' library (and going through a phase of installing it in your Eclipse IDE; old school devs know what I am talking about) and speeds up development time. Java 14 added a new feature of 'Records' which allows you to do the same, but it doesn't offer a 'copy' method to ease your object creation and also enforces the 'final' keyword for variables making them immutable.

X-Pipe - A connection manager and remote file explorer. Let me know what you think!
I get the main criticisms of Java, i.e. its verbosity and the requirement for a lot of boilerplate code, and understand why some people switched to Kotlin. But by using libraries such as lombok you can get rid of most of it and suddenly the incentives for switching aren't that big anymore. And in the end it's all JVM bytecode anyways.

JEP Draft – Derived Record Creation (Preview) – Java
The problem with this approach is that the people will have to build crutches like https://github.com/Randgalt/record-builder and by the time Java adds missing features all the codebases will be forever polluted with legacy workarounds that nobody will dare to remove because of backwards compatibility.
It also hinders adoption of new features as people will prefer to maintain consistency in their codebases.

Any library you would like to recommend to others as it helps you a lot? For me, mapstruct is one of them. Hopefully I would hear some other nice libraries I never try.
Record builder is pretty good for making builders for your Java 17 records

Useful & Unknown Java Libraries - Piotr's TechBlog
I always have to bring up RecordBuilder simply because of the included Withers and it being a source generator instead of the Lombok weirdness.

How to use Java Records
The above is not particularly user-friendly. Luckily compiler plugins can provide the missing feature, most notably RecordBuilder:
-
Named Parameters in Java
For records, instead of lombok you can use https://github.com/Randgalt/record-builder which is a valid annotation processor and will not break on JDK changes
-
has anyone written custom annotations using Lombok ?
In this particular case you can generate the builder with something like https://github.com/Randgalt/record-builder that is both valid java and lombok-like enough

I made a java client for the todoist api
Records + Record Builder or immutables + the trick to hide the implementing class w/sealed are your friend. Both the mutability and naming conventions this generates are vomitus.

What's your top Java pet peeve?
Try my annotation processor. It generates withers. https://github.com/Randgalt/record-builder

Stay with Java(+Spring) or pivot towards Go/Python?
I personally don't use that one much, but you could use this library instead.
What are some alternatives?
JHipster - JHipster, much like Spring initializr, is a generator to create a boilerplate backend application, but also with an integrated front end implementation in React, Vue or Angular. In their own words, it "Is a development platform to quickly generate, develop, & deploy modern web applications & microservice architectures."
MapStruct - An annotation processor for generating type-safe bean mappers
Immutables - Annotation processor to create immutable objects and builders. Feels like Guava's immutable collections but for regular value objects. JSON, Jackson, Gson, JAX-RS integrations included
awesome-annotation-processing - A curated list of resources related to the Java annotation processing API (JSR 269)
manifold - Manifold is a Java compiler plugin, its features include Metaprogramming, Properties, Extension Methods, Operator Overloading, Templates, a Preprocessor, and more.
core - An advanced and highly optimized Java library to build frameworks: it's useful for scanning class paths, generating classes at runtime, facilitating the use of reflection, scanning the filesystem, executing stringified source code and much more...
