Lombok @Getter and @Setter annotations are not being recognised when getAnnoations() method is used with a variable by reflection. Any suggestions on how to test if these annoations are present using reflection?

CodePudding user response：

You cannot check for those annotations during runtime, as they are compile-time-only annotations (RetentionPolicy.SOURCE) which are discarded by the compiler and thus not present in the compiled class files.

There is no way to find out during runtime whether a setter/getter method was generated by lombok or written manually.
