Research direction
Look into the Java model generation templates under `modules/swagger codegen/src/main/resources/Java/`. Specifically, examine `pojo.mustache` or similar Mustache files that generate POJO classes. The issue proposes adding an option to use Lombok's `@Value` annotation; you'll need to introduce a new template variable and modify the Java code generator to support this. Check the existing code in `DefaultCodegen.java` for how options are handled, and review any prior PRs or comments in the issue for implementation suggestions.
