Lombok @Setter may be used

Reports standard setter method that can be replaced by the lombok @Setter annotation.

Example:

  import java.util.Date;

  public class MyClass {
    /**
     * The process date.
     */
    private Date processDate;

    /**
     * Sets the date.
     *
     * @param The date
     */
    public void setProcessDate(Date param) {
      processDate = param;
    }
  }

After the quick-fix/cleanup is applied:

  import lombok.Setter;
  import java.util.Date;

  @Setter
  public class MyClass {
    /**
     * The process date.
     * -- SETTER --
     * Sets the date.
     *
     * @param The date
     */
    private Date processDate;
  }

It only reports when the lombok library is configured. To unlombok, see the lombok site.
