However, some might like to break with the <em>bean specification</em> in order to end up with nicer looking APIs. <code>@Accessors</code> lets you do this. - </p><p> - Some programmers like to use a prefix for their fields, i.e. they write <code>fPepper</code> instead of <code>pepper</code>. We <em>strongly</em> discourage doing this, as you can't unit test the validity of your prefixes, and refactor scripts may turn fields into local variables or method names. Furthermore, your tools (such as your editor) can take care of rendering the identifier in a certain way if you want this information to be instantly visible. Nevertheless, you can list the prefixes that your project uses via <code>@Accessors</code> as well. - </p><p> - <code>@Accessors</code> therefore has 3 options: - <ul> - <li> - <code>fluent</code> – A boolean.

If present, fields must be prefixed with any of these prefixes. Each field name is compared to each prefix in the list in turn, and if a match is found, the prefix is stripped out to create the base name for the field. It is legal to include an empty string in the list, which will always match. For characters which are letters, the character following the prefix must not be a lowercase letter, i.e. <code>pepper</code> is not a match even to prefix <code>p</code>, but <code>pEpper</code> would be (and would mean the base name of this field is <code>epper</code>). - </li> - </ul> - <p><p> - The <code>@Accessors</code> annotation is legal on types and fields; the annotation that applies is the one on the field if present, otherwise the one on the class.

To apply multiple annotations, use <code>@__({@Annotation1, @Annotation2})</code>.

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> - </@f.smallPrint> -</@f.scaffold> diff --git a/website2/templates/features/experimental/var.html b/website2/templates/features/experimental/var.html deleted file mode 100644 index fa35ac5e..00000000 --- a/website2/templates/features/experimental/var.html +++ /dev/null @@ -1,37 +0,0 @@ -<#import "../_features.html" as f> - -<@f.scaffold title="var" logline="Modifiable local variables with a type inferred by assigning value."> - <@f.history> - <p> - <code>var</code> was introduced in lombok 1.16.12 as experimental feature. - </p> - </@f.history> - - <@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.experimental> - - <@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.
