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.

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.

"With" for records -- Brian Goetz
Did you use https://github.com/Randgalt/record-builder ?

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.

error-prone is good for some extra static analysis.

How to use Java Records
A special kind of validation is enforcing that record fields are not null. (Un)fortunately, records do not have any special behavior regarding nullability. You can use tools like NullAway or Error Prone to prevent null in your code in general, or you can add checks to your records:

Why is `suspend` a language keyword, but @Composable and @Serializable are annotations
I am all in favour to more third side libraries adding functionalities, like Lombok, Manifold and error prone. As well as smaller projects like this shameless plug and what appears in this list

Picnic loves Error Prone: producing high-quality and consistent Java code
If only Google didn't suck when it came to Java9+ support... https://github.com/google/error-prone/issues/2649

What does the future hold for Project Amber?
I haven't used it. I use Google's ErrorProne + Lombok to prevent NPEs in java.

Plans for Compile-time Null Pointer Safety?
Take a look at NullAway, a plugin for Error Prone.

What I miss in Java, the perspective of a Kotlin developer
For some of this stuff, there are compiler extensions that allow extra type checking to be added e.g. Google Error-Prone: https://github.com/google/error-prone with stuff like: https://errorprone.info/bugpattern/ReturnMissingNullable.
Doesn't help you with third party libraries, but across an org applying that rule (and others!) typically ensures some consistency.

A guide on how to improve your coding skills with static code analysis.
How to build a static analysis plugin. Google has a framework for Java with a good tutorial.
- Error Prone 2.11.0 Released. Requires JDK11+
What are some alternatives?
MapStruct - An annotation processor for generating type-safe bean mappers
Spotbugs - SpotBugs is FindBugs' successor. A tool for static analysis to look for bugs in Java code.
Lombok - Very spicy additions to the Java programming language.
SonarQube - Continuous Inspection
awesome-annotation-processing - A curated list of resources related to the Java annotation processing API (JSR 269)
PMD - An extensible multilanguage static code analyzer.
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...
Checkstyle - Checkstyle is a development tool to help programmers write Java code that adheres to a coding standard. By default it supports the Google Java Style Guide and Sun Code Conventions, but is highly configurable. It can be invoked with an ANT task and a command line program.
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
