Interesting; I apparently hadn't looked at Lombok apparently since they've added the @DoPrivileged annotation (pretty sure it wasn't always there). My problem with Lombok is that, as I understand it, they have to resort to "tricks" due to the limitations of the public annotation processing APIs, they are only compatible with the Oracle compiler, have problems when used with other technologies e.g. AspectJ (IIRC). If not for these shortcomings (and I have no doubt the Lombok team would have done things "correctly" were that option open to them) I would have been using Lombok long ago.
