Lombok + MapStruct + Java 11 (is binding still required?)

[Maks Atygaev]

Hello everyone!

MapStruct recommends to add lombok-mapstruct-binding but I've faced with project configuration when no binding provided.

I mean MapStruct recommends something like

<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>

<version>3.8.1</version>
<configuration>
    <source>11</source>
    <target>11</target>
    <annotationProcessorPaths>
    <path>
        <groupId>org.mapstruct</groupId>
        <artifactId>mapstruct-processor</artifactId>
        <version>1.5.3.Final</version>
    </path>
     <path>
        <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
        <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
        <version>1.18.24</version>
    </path>
    <path>
        <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
        <artifactId>lombok-mapstruct-binding</artifactId>
        <version>0.2.0</version>
    </path>
    </annotationProcessorPaths>

</configuration>

but configuration without lombok-mapstruct-binding is still work fine

<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>

<version>3.8.1</version>
<configuration>
    <source>11</source>
    <target>11</target>
    <annotationProcessorPaths>
    <path>
        <groupId>org.mapstruct</groupId>
        <artifactId>mapstruct-processor</artifactId>
        <version>1.5.3.Final</version>
    </path>
     <path>
        <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
        <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
        <version>1.18.24</version>
    </path>
    </annotationProcessorPaths>

</configuration>

Could anyone comment this? Do you use binding in your project?
