- <@f.history>
- <p>
- <code>var</code> was introduced in lombok 1.16.12 as experimental feature.
- </p>

- <@f.experimental>
- <ul>
- <li>
- This feature is very controversial.
- </li><li>
- There is <a href="http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/286">JEP 286</a> that should make <code>var</code> obsolete.
- </li>
- </ul>
- Current status: <em>uncertain</em> – Currently we feel this feature cannot move out of experimental status.

- <@f.overview>
- <p>
- <code>var</code> works exactly like <a href="/features/val"><code>val</code></a>, except the local variable is <em>not</em> marked as <code>final</code>.
- </p><p>
- The type is still entirely derived from the mandatory initializer expression, and any further assignments, while now legal (because the variable is no longer <code>final</code>), aren't looked at to determine the appropriate type.<br />
- For example, <code>var x = "Hello"; x = Color.RED;</code> does <em>not</em> work; the type of x will be inferred to be <code>java.lang.String</code> and thus, the <code>x = Color.RED</code> assignment will fail. If the type of <code>x</code> was inferred to be <code>java.lang.Object</code> this code would have compiled, but that's not how<code>var</code> works.

- <code>lombok.var.flagUsage</code> = [<code>warning</code> | <code>error</code>] (default: not set)
- </dt><dd>
- Lombok will flag any usage of <code>var</code> as a warning or error if configured.
