Lombok is a compile time library that doesn’t do any magic but replacing an annotation with fragments of code. It feels more like using macros which exist in many languages. And it helps in keeping the code readable and DRY.

So the code is inflated because the machine does the code repetition for you. The structure of your program is not getting better I think. I do not argue against annotations but in this case, if there is such a simple thing as try with resources, just use it. If your code is sprinkled over with annotations like this it is hardly getting more understandable. From my experience, a single annotation comes often in packs.
