Data classes are great for configuration and such when used from Kotlin, but they are kind of awkward when used from Java.
Is there an easy way to generate a builder style wrapper for a data class? Similar to the @builder annotation in Lombok etc. Has anyone created an annotation processor or similar that does this?

Hmm, thanks, that seems to be pretty much what I need. Shame there is nothing built in.
