- <div class="since">
- <h3>Since</h3>
- <p>
- <code>@UtilityClass</code> was introduced as an experimental feature in lombok v1.16.2.
- </p>
- </div>
- <div class="experimental">
- <h3>Experimental</h3>
- <p>
- Experimental because:
- <ul>
- <li>Some debate as to whether its common enough to count as boilerplate.</li>
- </ul>
- Current status: <em>positive</em> - Currently we feel this feature may move out of experimental status with no or minor changes soon.
- </div>
- <div class="overview">
- <h3>Overview</h3>
- <p>
- A utility class is a class that is just a namespace for functions. No instances of it can exist, and all its members
- are static. For example, <code>java.lang.Math</code> and <code>java.util.Collections</code> are well known utility classes. This annotation automatically turns the annotated class into one.
- </p><p>
- A utility class cannot be instantiated. By marking your class with <code>@UtilityClass</code>, lombok will automatically
- generate a private constructor that throws an exception, flags as error any explicit constructors you add, and marks
- the class <code>final</code>. If the class is an inner class, the class is also marked <code>static</code>.
- </p><p>
- <em>All</em> members of a utility class are automatically marked as <code>static</code>. Even fields and inner classes.

- <h3>Small print</h3><div class="smallprint">
- <p>
- There isn't currently any way to create non-static members, or to define your own constructor. If you want to instantiate
- the utility class, even only as an internal implementation detail, <code>@UtilityClass</code> cannot be used.
