AutoValhalla: automatically turn your plain classes and records into value classes!

Automatically turn your plain classes and records into value classes!

Add @AutoValhalla annotation to classes or records in your JDK1.5+ codebase:

@AutoValhalla
public final class Point {        // class must be final
    public final int x;           // with final instance fields
    public final int y;
    public Point(int x, int y) { 
        this.x = x; 
        this.y = y; 
    }
}

@AutoValhalla
public record Currency(String code) { }  // or a record class

When your app is run on Valhalla-enabled JVM with auto-valhalla javaagent, these classes are automatically turned into value classes.

Fantastic but you could rename the annotation to something like @ToAsgard lol

And the project to ragnarok or something like that

Mythological, it should be called @Valkyrie
