Description

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

The java-play-framework generator will generate models as mutable as it gets. This makes it clunky to work with them (especially in the functional environment of java8+) and leads to potential mistakes.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd suggest an option to create the models immutable with a builder pattern for creation.

Additional context

I do have a branch with the necessary code to implement this, but I am unsure if I can submit it as a pull request or if I need to wait for feedback in this issue.

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point in the java-play-framework generator. First clarify the proposed option, generated model and builder requirements, compatibility expectations, and how the existing branch should be evaluated; done should include agreed behavior and tests for immutable builder-based models.
