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.

  • javawriter

    A Java API for generating .java source files.

    Javapoet. This helped me a lot, because i wrote two generators, one for one employer, who don't like dynamic generators, so the first was to generate mappers like mapstruct does; from model to pojos and viceversa. The second one was a static testing pojo factory generator; this last one i made public (it's pretty basic and now we have projects like instancio and podam) its name is mother-factory.

    Picocli is a modern framework for building powerful, user-friendly, GraalVM-enabled command line apps with ease. It supports colors, autocompletion, subcommands, and more. In 1 source file so apps can include as source & avoid adding a dependency. Written in Java, usable from Groovy, Kotlin, Scala, etc.

    Picocli is a pretty good one for writing CLI apps

  • jOOQ

    jOOQ is the best way to write SQL in Java

    JOOQ. I love this one; its very very useful when you don't need/like any ORM, and it works with, for example Spring JDBC, so you don't have to write directly the SQL into Strings. The generator helps you with all the DAO layer, and if you want it generates JPA Models too.
