+ <h3>Overview</h3>
+ <p>
+ <em>NEW in Lombok 0.11.10: </em>You can use <code>@NonNull</code> on the parameter of a method or constructor to have lombok generate a null-check statement for you.<br />
+ </p><p>
+ Lombok has always treated any annotation named <code>@NonNull</code> on a field as a signal to generate a null-check if lombok generates an entire method or constructor for you, via
+ for example <a href="Data.html"><code>@Data</code></a>. Now, however, using lombok's own <code>@lombok.NonNull</code> on a parameter results in the insertion of just the null-check
+ statement inside your own method or constructor.
+ </p><p>
+ The null-check looks like <code>if (param == null) throw new NullPointerException("param");</code> and will be inserted at the very top of your method. For constructors, the null-check
+ will be inserted immediately following any explicit <code>this()</code> or <code>super()</code> calls.
+ </p><p>
+ If a null-check is already present at the top, no additional null-check will be generated.

+ <h3>Supported configuration keys:</h3>
+ <dl>
+ <dt><code>lombok.nonNull.exceptionType</code> = [<code>NullPointerException</code> | <code>IllegalArgumentException</code>] (default: <code>NullPointerException</code>).
+ <dd>When lombok generates a null-check <code>if</code> statement, by default, a <code>java.lang.NullPointerException</code> will be thrown with the field name as the exception message.
+ However, you can use <code>IllegalArgumentException</code> in this configuration key to have lombok throw that exception, with '<em>fieldName</em> is null' as exception message.</dd>
+ <dt><code>lombok.nonNull.flagUsage</code> = [<code>warning</code> | <code>error</code>] (default: not set)</dt>
+ <dd>Lombok will flag any usage of <code>@NonNull</code> as a warning or error if configured.</dd>
+ </dl>
+ </div>
+ <div class="overview">
+ <h3>Small print</h3><div class="smallprint">
+ <p>
+ Lombok's detection scheme for already existing null-checks consists of scanning for if statements that look just like lombok's own. Any 'throws' statement as
+ the 'then' part of the if statement, whether in braces or not, counts. The conditional of the if statement <em>must</em> look exactly like <code>PARAMNAME == null</code>.
+ The first statement in your method that is not such a null-check stops the process of inspecting for null-checks.
+ </p><p>
+ While <code>@Data</code> and other method-generating lombok annotations will trigger on any annotation named <code>@NonNull</code> regardless of casing or package name,
+ this feature only triggers on lombok's own <code>@NonNull</code> annotation from the <code>lombok</code> package.
+ </p><p>
+ A <code>@NonNull</code> on a primitive parameter results in a warning. No null-check will be generated.
+ </p><p>
+ A <code>@NonNull</code> on a parameter of an abstract method used to generate a warning; starting with version 1.16.8, this is no longer the case, to acknowledge the notion that <code>@NonNull</code> also has a
+ documentary role. For the same reason, you can annotate a method as <code>@NonNull</code>; this is allowed, generates no warning, and does not generate any code.
