The class itself is also made final by default, because immutability is not something that can be forced onto a subclass. Like @Data, useful toString(), equals() and hashCode() methods are also generated, each field gets a getter method, and a constructor that covers every argument (except final fields that are initialized in the field declaration) is also generated.

- In practice, @Value is shorthand for: final @ToString @EqualsAndHashCode @AllArgsConstructor @FieldDefaults(makeFinal = true, level = AccessLevel.PRIVATE) @Getter. + In practice, @Value is shorthand for: final @ToString @EqualsAndHashCode @AllArgsConstructor @FieldDefaults(makeFinal = true, level = AccessLevel.PRIVATE) @Getter, except that explicitly including an implementation of any of the relevant methods simply means that part won't be generated and no warning will be emitted. For example, if you write your own toString, no error occurs, and lombok will not generate a toString. Also, any explicit constructor, no matter the arguments list, implies lombok will not generate a constructor. If you do want lombok to generate the all-args constructor, add @AllArgsConstructor to the class.

It is possible to override the final-by-default and private-by-default behaviour using either an explicit access level on a field, or by using the @NonFinal or @PackagePrivate annotations.
It is possible to override any default behaviour for any of the 'parts' that make up @Value by explicitly using that annotation. -- cgit
