> If you use their vals IntelliJ will syntax highlight it as an error in red for the simple reason that it's non-compliant with the Java language spec.

There's a free plugin that adds Lombok support to Intellij. You will be able to use getters/setters/builders etc. as if they were compiled.

Builders etc. work fine, it's the vals that are permanently underlined in red, even with the plug in. It compiles OK with vals, but still highlights it as an error in red in the editor.
