Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Generated model beans are plain beans - these are not so nice to work with vs builder-based beans.

Describe the solution you'd like

Have builders for model beans, builders in general and optionally use http://immutables.io .

Describe alternatives you've considered

Plain builders can probably just be implemented with plain code, or use something like immutables.io.

Additional context

I use java, I use the maven plugin, and the generator flavour for jaxrs cxf.

Research direction

The issue names generated model beans and the JAX-RS CXF generator flavor but no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the templates and generator configuration for that flavor, then clarify whether builders should be generated generally or through Immutables and define the expected output before implementation.
