[Vlad Mihalcea]

For anyone interested, Josh Long tell more about why they took this
approach where they inject the default constructor:

Rafael Winterhaler shows that this can be easily done with Byte Buddy which
we already used before:

If we can prove that it's indeed significantly faster than using Java
Reflection to build entities,
I think we should think about taking this approach as well.

What do you think of this?
