Lombok is a useful crutch if you're writing lots of Java code on a day to day basis. However, given how easy it is to use Kotlin alongside Java I would question whether Lombok is the right solution to the problem.

Kotlin has data classes which auto generate sensible 'toString' and 'hashCode' methods which is a massive time saver.

Really, if you are considering introducing Kotlin to a Java project I'd recommend you just take the plunge. It's pretty much just a minor change to your pom file (if you're using Maven). Kotlin has Java interop as a primary feature and is flawless from my experience.
