Optionally generate also Kotlin data class implementations of the EntityViews

See original GitHub issue

Although even currently the generated java classes have the full-arg constructor, data classes still bring additional benefits:

copy method
default property values (could be generated from default view interface methods if present)

Moreover, data classes already have suitable equals/hashCode, so the code should be simpler to generate.

That I could use data classes (possibly nested) for simple immutable entity views?

Yes

Any ETA for the fix?

I’ll fix it for 1.6.8, but I need to debug some annotation processor issues first. I hope I can finish all that this week.
