+ <div class="overview">
+ <h3>Overview</h3>
+ <p>
+ Any class definition may be annotated with <code>@ToString</code> to let lombok generate an implementation of the
+ <code>toString()</code> method. By default, it'll print your class name, along with each field, in order, separated by commas.
+ </p><p>
+ By setting the <code>includeFieldNames</code> parameter to <em>true</em> you can add some clarity (but also quite some length) to
+ the output of the <code>toString()</code> method.
+ </p><p>
+ All non-static fields will be printed. If you want to skip some fields, you can name them in the <code>exclude</code> parameter; each named
+ field will not be printed at all.
+ </p><p>
+ By setting <code>callSuper</code> to <em>true</em>, you can include the output of the superclass implementation of <code>toString</code> to the
+ output. Be aware that the default implementation of <code>toString()</code> in <code>java.lang.Object</code> is pretty much meaningless, so you
+ probably don't want to do this unless you are extending another class.

+ <p>
+ If there is <em>any</em> method named <code>toString</code> regardless of parameters or return type, no method will be generated, and instead
+ a warning is emitted explaining that your <code>@ToString</code> annotation is doing nothing.
+ </p><p>
+ Arrays are printed via <code>Arrays.deepToString</code>, which means that arrays that contain themselves will result in <code>StackOverflowError</code>s. However,
+ this behaviour is no different from e.g. <code>ArrayList</code>.
+ </p><p>
+ Attempting to exclude fields that don't exist or would have been excluded anyway (because they are static) results in warnings on the named fields.
+ You therefore don't have to worry about typos.
+ </p><p>
+ We don't promise to keep the output of the generated <code>toString()</code> methods the same between lombok versions. You should never design your API so that
+ other code is forced to parse your <code>toString()</code> output anyway!
