Using DTOs brings boilerplate: dozens of classes that nearly copy your JPA entities, each comes with a mapper class. ModelMapper helps avoid unnecessary lines. @JPABuddy, in its turn, helps to generate DTOs itself.

JPA Buddy is an IntelliJ IDEA plugin that helps developers work efficiently with Hibernate, EclipseLink, Spring Data JPA, Flyway, Liquibase, Lombok, MapStruct, and other related technologies in both Java and Kotlin.

The plugin is intended to:
– Lower barrier to entry into development with JPA
– Boost developer’s productivity
– Make sure your code follows best practices

JPA Buddy delivers:
– Intuitive wizards to work with JPA
– Automatic database versioning changelog generation
– Smart inspections to make the code better
– JPA Entities generation based on tables (reverse engineering)
– Visual DTO designer and mapper code generator

You can use JPA Buddy in any project with Spring Boot, Jakarta Enterprise Edition, Quarkus, Micronaut, or even without any framework.
