     What is wrong (tm) with

	public void setUnitPrice(double unitPrice) {
	    if (unitPrice <= 0 || !Double.isFinite(unitPrice)) {
	        throw new IllegalArgumentException(
	            "bad price: " + unitPrice);
	    }
	    if (unitPrice != this.unitPrice) {
	        this.unitPrice = unitPrice;
	        fireChangeEvent(this, PRICE_CHANGED);
	    }
	}

?  Is "something like Lombok" smart enough to auto-generate such code?
Smart enough to auto-generate without being prompted by annotations
bulkier than the code itself?
