Added website feature documentation for @ToString and @EqualsAndHashCode, and modified the docs for @Data to refer to the docs of these new annotations.
The build script for the website has been updated to clean out the website build dir first, so files that used to exist but have now been tossed are no longer there. There's also a special website-no-videos target which builds a website deployable without the videos. This makes the upload a lot faster if the videos haven't changed.

<div class="overview">
<h3>Overview</h3>
<p>
- Any class definition may be annotated with <code>@Data</code> to let lombok generate all the boilerplate that is associated with simple POJOs
- (Plain Old Java Objects) and beans: getters for all fields, setters for all non-final fields, a useful <code>toString</code>, and implementations
- of <code>hashCode</code> and <code>equals</code> which consider any two objects of this type with the same values for each field as equal. A
- constructor is also generated containing 1 parameter for each final field, in the order the fields are defined. This constructor simply assigns
- each parameter to the appropriate field.
- </p>
- <p>
- To override the access level of any getter/setter for any field, annotate the field with a <code>@Setter</code> or <code>@Getter</code> annotation
- with the appropriate <code>AccessLevel</code> value. See the example below. For more information on how the getters/setters are generated,
- see the documentation for <a href="GetterSetter.html"><code>@Getter</code> and <code>@Setter</code></a>.
+ <code>@Data</code> is a convenient shortcut annotation that bundles the features of <a href="ToString.html"><code>@ToString</code></a>,
+ <a href="EqualsAndHashCode.html">@EqualsAndHashCode</code></a> and <a href="GetterSetter.html"><code>@Getter</code> / <code>@Setter</code></a>
+ together: In other words, <code>@Data</code> generates <em>all</em> the boilerplate that is normally associated with simple POJOs
+ (Plain Old Java Objects) and beans: getters for all fields, setters for all non-final fields, and appropriate <code>toString</code>, <code>equals</code>
+ and <code>hashCode</code> implementations that involve the fields of the class. In addition, <code>@Data</code> generates a constructor that
+ initialized all final fields.
+ </p><p>
+ <code>@Data</code> is like having implicit <code>@ToString</code> and <code>@EqualsAndHashCode</code> annotations on the class.
+ However, the parameters of <code>@ToString</code> and <code>@EqualsAndHashCode</code> (such as <code>callSuper</code>, <code>includeFieldNames</code> and
+ <code>exclude</code>) cannot be set with <code>@Data</code>. If you need to set non-default values for any of these parameters, just add those annotations
+ explicitly; <code>@Data</code> is smart enough to defer to those annotations.
+ </p><p>
+ All generated getters and setters will be <code>public</code>. To override the access level, annotate the field with an explicit <code>@Setter</code> and/or
+ <code>@Getter</code> annotation.
</p><p>
All fields marked as <code>transient</code> will not be considered for <code>hashCode</code> and <code>equals</code>. All static fields will be
skipped entirely (not considered for any of the generated methods, and no setter/getter will be made for them).
- The generated getter/setter method will be <code>public</code> unless you explicitly specify an <code>AccessLevel</code>, as shown in the example below.
- Legal access levels are <code>PUBLIC</code>, <code>PROTECTED</code>, <code>PACKAGE</code>, and <code>PRIVATE</code>.
</p><p>
- If any method that would normally be generated exists <em>in name</em> that method will not be generated, and no warning or error is emitted. For example,
- if you already have a method with signature <code>void hashCode(int a, int b, int c)</code>, no <code>int hashCode()</code> method will be generated,
- even though technically <code>int hashCode()</code> is an entirely different method. The same rule applies to the constructor, <code>toString</code>,
- <code>hashCode</code>, and all getters and setters.
+ If the class already contains a method with the same name as any method that would normally be generated, that method is not generated, and no warning or
+ error is emitted. For example, if you already have a method with signature <code>void hashCode(int a, int b, int c)</code>, no <code>int hashCode()</code>
+ method will be generated, even though technically <code>int hashCode()</code> is an entirely different method. The same rule applies to the constructor,
+ <code>toString</code>, <code>equals</code>, and all getters and setters.
</p><p>
<code>@Data</code> can handle generics parameters for fields just fine. In order to reduce the boilerplate when constructing objects for classes with
generics, you can use the <code>staticConstructor</code> parameter to generate a private constructor, as well as a static method that returns a new

+ <div class="overview">
+ <h3>Overview</h3>
+ <p>
+ Any class definition may be annotated with <code>@EqualsAndHashCode</code> to let lombok generate implementations of the
+ <code>equals(Object other)</code> and <code>hashCode()</code> methods. By default, it'll use all non-static, non-transient
+ fields, but you can exclude more fields by naming them in the optional <code>exclude</code> parameter to the annotation.
+ </p><p>
+ By setting <code>callSuper</code> to <em>true</em>, you can include the <code>equals</code> and <code>hashCode</code> methods of your superclass in the generated methods.
+ For <code>hashCode</code>, the result of <code>super.hashCode()</code> is included in the hash algorithm, and for <code>equals</code>, the generated method will return
+ false if the super implementation thinks it is not equal to the passed in object. Be aware that not all <code>equals</code> implementations handle this situation properly.
+ However, lombok-generated <code>equals</code> implementations <strong>do</strong> handle this situation properly, so you can safely call your superclass equals if it, too,
+ has a lombok-generated <code>equals</code> method.<br />
+ </p><p>
+ Setting <code>callSuper</code> to <em>true</em> when you don't extend anything (you extend <code>java.lang.Object</code>) is a compile-time error, because it would turn
+ the generated <code>equals()</code> and <code>hashCode()</code> implementations into having the same behaviour as simply inheriting these methods from <code>java.lang.Object</code>:
+ only the same object will be equal to each other and will have the same hashCode. Obviously, inheriting <code>java.lang.Object</code> is the right strategy if you want this behaviour.
+ Not setting <code>callSuper</code> to <em>true</em> when you extend another class generates a warning, because unless the superclass has no (equality-important) fields, lombok
+ cannot generate an implementation for you that takes into account the fields declared by your superclasses. You'll need to write your own implementations, or rely on the
+ <code>callSuper</code> chaining facility.
