Class (file on git differs!)

@Data
public class Rocket {
}

Answer 1

You shouldn't use Lombok for Groovy, it is intended to be used only with Java.

Groovy has built-in annotation @Canonical which does what you want:

• it creates useful equals, hashCode and toString methods
• it creates no-arg and tuple constructor

So in your case use:

@Canonical
public class Rocket {}

Additionally you don't need to create getters and setters for fields in Groovy. If you add any field to your class, Groovy would create getters and setters.
