You can let lombok generate a getter which will calculate a value once, the first time this getter is called, and cache it from then on. This can be useful if calculating the value takes a lot of CPU, or the value takes a lot of memory. To use this feature, create a <code>private final</code> variable, initialize it with the expression that's expensive to run, and annotate your field with <code>@Getter(lazy=true)</code>. The field will be hidden from the rest of your code, and the expression will be evaluated no more than once, when the getter is first called. There are no magic marker values (i.e. even if the result of your expensive calculation is <code>null</code>, the result is cached) and your expensive calculation need not be thread-safe, as lombok takes care of locking.
</p>
+ <p>
+ If the initialization expression is complex, or contains generics, we recommend moving the code to a private (if possible static) method, and call that instead.

To put annotations on the generated constructor, you can use <code>onConstructor=@__({@AnnotationsHere})</code>, but be careful; this is an experimental feature. For more details see the documentation on the <a href="/features/experimental/onX">onX</a> feature.

- Static fields are skipped by these annotations. Also, a <code>@java.beans.ConstructorProperties</code> annotation is added for all constructors with at least 1 argument, which allows bean editor tools to call the generated constructors. <code>@ConstructorProperties</code> is new in Java 1.6, which means that if your code is intended for compilation on Java 1.5, a compiler error will occur. <em>Running</em> on a JVM 1.5 should be no problem (the annotation will be ignored). To suppress the generation of the <code>@ConstructorProperties</code> annotation, add a parameter to your annotation: <code>@AllArgsConstructor(suppressConstructorProperties=true)</code>. However, as java 1.5, which has already been end-of-lifed, fades into obscurity, this parameter will eventually be removed. It has also been marked deprecated for this reason.

Unlike most other lombok annotations, the existence of an explicit constructor does not stop these annotations from generating their own constructor. This means you can write your own specialized constructor, and let lombok generate the boilerplate ones as well. If a conflict arises (one of your constructors ends up with the same signature as one that lombok generates), a compiler error will occur.
