Description

Requested feature: The @Jacksonized annotation is great for deserializing JSON to immutable DTOs. It would be great if an equivalent for users of JSON-B could be added to Lombok as well.

Target audience: Users of plain Java EE/Jakarta EE.

Research direction
Start by studying the existing @Jacksonized implementation in Lombok's source code (e.g., src/core/lombok/javac/handlers/HandleJacksonized.java). Understand how Lombok generates builders and deserialization support. Then research the JSON B API and its equivalent annotations. The issue has not seen recent activity, so no linked PRs or maintainer comments to guide direction.
