From: Reinier Zwitserloot @Accessors was introduced as experimental feature in lombok v0.11.0.
The lombok.config option lombok.accessors.capitalization = [basic | beanspec] was added in lombok v1.18.24.
-
+ FUNCTIONAL CHANGE: @Accessors now 'cascades'; any options not set on a field-level @Accessors annotation will get inherited from an
+ @Accessors annotation on the class (and any options not set on those, from the enclosing class). Finally, anything set in lombok.config
+ will be used as default. (lombok v1.18.24)
+
+ NEW FEATURE: @Accessors(makeFinal = true) will create final getters, setters, and with-ers. There's also
+ lombok.config key lombok.accessors.makeFinal for the same effect. (lombok v1.18.24)

+ The @Accessors annotation is used to configure how lombok generates and looks for getters, setters, and with-ers.
By default, lombok follows the bean specification for getters and setters: The getter for a field named pepper is getPepper for example. However, some might like to break with the bean specification in order to end up with nicer looking APIs. @Accessors lets you do this.
Some programmers like to use a prefix for their fields, i.e. they write fPepper instead of pepper. We strongly 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 @Accessors as well.
- @Accessors therefore has 3 options:
+ @Accessors has 4 options:
fluent – A boolean. If true, the getter for pepper is just pepper(), and the setter is pepper(T newValue). Furthermore, unless specified, chain defaults to true. chain – A boolean. If true, generated setters return this instead of void.fluent=true, then Default: true.
+ makeFinal – A boolean. If true, generated getters, setters, and with-ers are marked as final.prefix – A list of strings. 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. pepper is not a match even to prefix p, but pEpper would be (and would mean the base name of this field is epper).
- The @Accessors 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. When an @Accessors annotation on a field is present, any @Accessors annotation also present on the class the field is in, is entirely ignored, even for properties not configured on the field @Accessors. This in contrast to any lombok.config configuration keys which serve as fall-back default if any explicit @Accessors annotation doesn't specify.
+ The @Accessors annotation is legal on types and fields; getters/setters/with-ers will look at the annotation on the field first, on the type the field is in second (and you have types in types,
+ each outer type is also checked), and finally for any properties not explicitly set, the appropriate lombok.config setting is used.
lombok.accessors.chain = [true | false] (default: false)
true, any class that either doesn't have an @Accessors annotation, or it does, but that annotation does not have an explicit value for the chain parameter, will act as if @Accessors(chain = true) is present.
+ If set to true, any field/class that either doesn't have an @Accessors annotation, or it does, but that annotation does not have an explicit value for the chain parameter, will act as if @Accessors(chain = true) is present.
lombok.accessors.fluent = [true | false] (default: false)
true, any class that either doesn't have an @Accessors annotation, or it does, but that annotation does not have an explicit value for the fluent parameter, will act as if @Accessors(fluent = true) is present.
+ If set to true, any field/class that either doesn't have an @Accessors annotation, or it does, but that annotation does not have an explicit value for the fluent parameter, will act as if @Accessors(fluent = true) is present.
+ lombok.accessors.makeFinal = [true | false] (default: false)
+ true, any field/class that either doesn't have an @Accessors annotation, or it does, but that annotation does not have an explicit value for the makeFinal parameter, will act as if @Accessors(makeFinal = true) is present.
