If we find a better way to implement this feature, or some future java version introduces an alternative strategy, this feature can disappear without a reasonable deprecation period. Also, this feature may not work in future versions of javac. Use at your own discretion.</strong> - </p><p> - Most annotations that make lombok generate methods or constructors can be configured to also make lombok put custom annotations on elements in the generated code. - </p><p> - <code>@Getter</code>, <code>@Setter</code>, and <code>@Wither</code> support the <code>onMethod</code> option, which will put the listed annotations on the generated method. - </p><p> - <code>@AllArgsConstructor</code>, <code>@NoArgsConstructor</code>, and <code>@RequiredArgsConstructor</code> support the <code>onConstructor</code> option which will put the listed annotations on the generated constructor. - </p><p> - <code>@Setter</code> and <code>@Wither</code> support <code>onParam</code> in addition to <code>onMethod</code>; annotations listed will be put on the only parameter that the generated method has. <code>@EqualsAndHashCode</code> also supports <code>onParam</code>; the listed annotation(s) will be placed on the single parameter of the generated <code>equals</code> method, as well as any generated <code>canEqual</code> method. - </p><p> - The syntax is a little strange and depends on the javac you are using.<br /> - On javac7, to use any of the 3 <code>onX</code> features, you must wrap the annotations to be applied to the constructor / method / parameter in <code>@__(@AnnotationGoesHere)</code>. To apply multiple annotations, use <code>@__({@Annotation1, @Annotation2})</code>. The annotations can themselves obviously have parameters as well.<br /> - On javac8 and up, you add an underscore after <code>onMethod</code>, <code>onParam</code>, or <code>onConstructor</code>. - </p> - </div> - <div class="snippets"> - <div class="pre"> - <h3>With Lombok</h3> - <div class="snippet">@HTML_PRE@</div> - </div> - <div class="sep"></div> - <div class="post"> - <h3>Vanilla Java</h3> - <div class="snippet">@HTML_POST@</div> - </div> - </div> - <div style="clear: left;"></div> - <div class="overview"> - <h3>Small print</h3><div class="smallprint"> - <p> - The reason of the weird syntax is to make this feature work in javac 7 compilers; the <code>@__</code> type is an annotation reference to the annotation type <code>__</code> (double underscore) which doesn't actually exist; this makes javac 7 delay aborting the compilation process due to an error because it is possible an annotation processor will later create the <code>__</code> type. Instead, lombok applies the annotations and removes the references so that the error will never actually occur. The point is: The <code>__</code> type <em>must not exist</em>, otherwise the feature does not work. In the rare case that the <code>__</code> type does exist (and is imported or in the package), you can simply add more underscores. Technically any non-existent type would work, but to maintain consistency and readability and catch erroneous use, lombok considers it an error if the 'wrapper' annotation is anything but a series of underscores. - </p><p> - In javac8, the above feature should work but due to a bug in javac8 it does not. However, starting in javac8, if the parameter name does not exist in the annotation type, compilation proceeds to a phase where lombok can fix it. - </p><p> - To reiterate: This feature can disappear at any time; if you use this feature, be prepared to adjust your code when we find a nicer way of implementing this feature, or, if a future version of javac forces us to remove this feature entirely with no alternative. - </p><p> - The <code>onX</code> parameter is not legal on any type-wide variant. For example, a <code>@Getter</code> annotation on a class does not support <code>onMethod</code>. - </p> - </div> - </div> - <div class="footer"> - <a href="index.html">Back to experimental features</a> | <a href="Wither.html">Previous feature (@Wither)</a> | <a href="UtilityClass.html">Next feature (@UtilityClass)</a><br /> - <a href="../../credits.html" class="creditsLink">credits</a> | <span class="copyright">Copyright © 2009-2016 The Project Lombok Authors, licensed under the <a href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php">MIT license</a>.</span> - </div> - <div style="clear: both;"></div> - </div> -</div> -<script type="text/javascript"> - var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
