When using @Data annotation, checkstyle treats the class as utility class.

[sz]

I am getting a bizarre error when running checkstyle. I have a simple Java class that has a number of private variables. I annotated the class with @Data annotation to create all necessary getters, setters etc. When I run the checkstyle I get this error: Utility classes should not have a public or default constructor. Does anyone know why is the checkstyle treats this class as utility class, and is this a known Lombok or Checkstyle bug?

Thanks!

Does check style run on source files or class files? If the former, perhaps check style considers any class with zero instance methods a utility class. Maybe check style sees no methods, which technically fits the "no instance methods" rule, and complains?
