MapStruct 1.2.0.Final is out

I’m very happy to announce the final version MapStruct 1.2!

After less than a year from the 1.1.0.Final release, 3 Beta and 2 CR releases, MapStruct 1.2.0.Final is finally out :).

Besides bug fixes, the 1.2 release brings some new interesting features:

  • MapStruct can be used with Lombok out of the box
  • Java 8 Stream support
  • Mappings based on public fields
  • Automatic creation of nested mapping methods
  • Mapping methods can take “pass-through” context parameters, addressing different use cases like
  • Passing a locale, timezone or similar to custom mapping methods
  • Keeping track of processed nodes in circular object graphs
  • Target bean factory methods can access a mapping’s source parameter(s)
  • Nested target mappings have been reworked from the ground up
  • Java 9 Compatibility

MapStruct support for IntelliJ IDEA

I am very happy to announce the first version of the MapStruct IntelliJ IDEA plugin. Now we have official support for 2 IDEs, Eclipse being the first IDE for which we had support from earlier (plugin here).

With the power of IntelliJ you now get completions in @Mapping and @ValueMapping annotations (also for nested mappings ;)). Apart from that you also get support for: finding usages of methods directly within annotations, going to declarations from annotations, highlighting support within annotations and refactoring support.

MapStruct 1.2.0.CR2 released

I’m very happy to announce the second candidate release of MapStruct 1.2!

The CR2 release mostly provides bug fixes and other smaller improvements since the CR1, e.g. related to the handling of mappingInheritanceStrategy (issue #1255). Further fixes concern the handling nested target properties (#1269).

MapStruct 1.2.0.CR1 released

I’m very happy to announce the first candidate release of MapStruct 1.2!

The CR1 release mostly provides bug fixes and other smaller improvements since the Beta 3, e.g. related to the handling of the @ObjectFactory annotation (issues #1131 and #1242). Further fixes concern the handling of imports in the generated code (#1227, #543) and the error reporting in case of incorrect mapper definitions (#1150, #1185).

MapStruct 1.2.0.Beta3 is out

The summer is nearly there, and so is MapStruct 1.2. Today it’s my pleasure to announce another release on our way to the Final: MapStruct 1.2 Beta 3!

This release continues to improve and stabilize the new feature of automatically creating sub-mapping methods. By default, no sub-mapping methods are generated for any types of the JDK (as those are typically no bean types which one would like to step into in the course of mapping). If more fine-grained control is needed, there is an SPI now which lets you define for which types sub-mapping methods should be created. Eventually, you also can turn off automatic sub-mappings completely if you prefer to have full control by explicitly defining all required bean mapping methods.

Besides that, several bugs were fixed:

  • The generated mappers were missing import statements in some cases (#1215, #1164)
  • Field mappings didn’t work for nested target properties (#1155)
  • Accessing a non-existent nested target property wasn’t handled gracefully (#1153)
