If a class is annotated, + * then a private constructor is generated with all fields as arguments + * (as if {@code @AllArgsConstructor(AccessLevel.PRIVATE)} is present + * on the class), and it is as if this constructor has been annotated with {@code @Builder} instead. + * <p> + * The effect of {@code @Builder} is that an inner class is generated named <code><strong>T</strong>Builder</code>, + * with a private constructor. Instances of <code><strong>T</strong>Builder</code> are made with the static + * method named {@code builder()} which is also generated for you in the class itself (not in the builder class). + * <p> + * The <code><strong>T</strong>Builder</code> class contains 1 method for each parameter of the annotated + * constructor / static method (each field, when annotating a class), which returns the builder itself. + * The builder also has a <code>build()</code> method which returns a completed instance of the original type, + * created by passing all parameters as set via the various other methods in the builder to the constructor + * or static method that was annotated with {@code @Builder}. The return type of this method will be the same + * as the relevant class, unless a static method has been annotated, in which case it'll be equal to the + * return type of that method. + * <p> + * Complete documentation is found at <a href="http://projectlombok.org/features/experimental/Builder.html">the project lombok features page for @Builder</a>. + * <p> + * <p> + * Before: + * + * <pre> + * @Builder + * class Example { + * private int foo; + * private final String bar; + * } + * </pre> + * + * After: + * + * <pre> + * class Example<T> { + * private T foo; + * private final String bar; + * + * private Example(T foo, String bar) { + * this.foo = foo; + * this.bar = bar; + * } + * + * public static <T> ExampleBuilder<T> builder() { + * return new ExampleBuilder<T>(); + * } + * + * public static class ExampleBuilder<T> { + * private T foo; + * private String bar; + * + * private ExampleBuilder() {} + * + * public ExampleBuilder foo(T foo) { + * this.foo = foo; + * return this; + * } + * + * public ExampleBuilder bar(String bar) { + * this.bar = bar; + * return this; + * } + * + * @java.lang.Override public String toString() { + * return "ExampleBuilder(foo = " + foo + ", bar = " + bar + ")"; + * } + * + * public Example build() { + * return new Example(foo, bar); + * } + * } + * } + * </pre> + */ +@Target({TYPE, METHOD, CONSTRUCTOR}) +@Retention(SOURCE) +public @interface Builder { + /** Name of the static method that creates a new builder instance.
