[Task] Add new constructor for jackson classes with only all mandatory field(s)

[MelleD]

Is your task related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently there is only one constructor that contains all fields. This makes instantiating larger classes cumbersome and difficult to read. A good practice is to have a constructor that includes all mandatory fields and leaves out the optional ones because they can be set if necessary.

Example:

public class Person {

	@NotNull
	@Pattern(regexp = "[0-9A-Z]{4}")
	private String name;
	private Optional<String> lastname;
        private int age;

        public Person (String name, Optional<String> lastname, int age)
        {
        //..
        }

Describe the solution you'd like

public class Person {

	@NotNull
	@Pattern(regexp = "[0-9A-Z]{4}")
	private String name;
	private Optional<String> lastname = Optional.empty();
        private int age;

        public Person (String name, int age)
        {
        //..
        }

@MelleD , Would it solve your issue to include lombok and allow such constructors by setting lombok annotations?

I don't know if it's a good idea to have a hard dependency on Lombok. We are currently not using Lombok and there are currently no needs for Lombok.
