State of lombok-pg

[CodePoKE]

Although I know that this isn't the correct place to ask this question, I did not find a discussion group for lombok-pg; so my apologies for this off-topic post.

As I understood it (and the readme describes it), lombok-pg is the staging ground for potential new features in Lombok.

However, the last functional commit seems to be over a year ago, so my question is:
Is Lombok-PG still alive? Is someone keeping it up to date with Lombok?

lombok-pg is Philipp Eichhorn's fork of lombok. He changed a number of underlying aspects of it which means it is not feasible to cherry-pick lombok's commits onto lombok-pg, and as far as I know Philipp has stopped working on the fork. Unfortunate, but, we do pick up some of lombok-pg's features from time to time.

Thanks for the information. :-)
It's a shame really, as some of his features are really interesting for those of us who will probably not have JDK 8 for some time (Android).

I'll start taking a look around in his repo to see what can be ported and what can't.

I don't know what tou need, but be aware of this:

I didn't try it yet so far, but it sound as we can have JDK 8 syntaxes
(not libraries) with older JDKs, and could work with Android.
