/**
* The builder annotation creates a so-called 'builder' aspect to the class that is annotated or the class
* that contains a member which is annotated with {@code @Builder}.
* <p>
* If a member is annotated, it must be either a constructor or a static method. If a class is annotated,
* then a private constructor is generated with all fields as arguments
* (as if {@code @AllArgsConstructor(AccessLevel.PRIVATE)} is present
* on the class), and it is as if this constructor has been annotated with {@code @Builder} instead.
* <p>
* The effect of {@code @Builder} is that an inner class is generated named <code><strong>T</strong>Builder</code>,
* with a private constructor. Instances of <code><strong>T</strong>Builder</code> are made with the static
* method named {@code builder()} which is also generated for you in the class itself (not in the builder class).
* <p>
* The <code><strong>T</strong>Builder</code> class contains 1 method for each parameter of the annotated
* constructor / static method (each field, when annotating a class), which returns the builder itself.
* The builder also has a <code>build()</code> method which returns a completed instance of the original type,
* created by passing all parameters as set via the various other methods in the builder to the constructor
* or static method that was annotated with {@code @Builder}. The return type of this method will be the same
* as the relevant class, unless a static method has been annotated, in which case it'll be equal to the
* return type of that method.
* <p>
* Complete documentation is found at <a href="http://projectlombok.org/features/experimental/Builder.html">the project lombok features page for @Builder</a>.
* <p>
* <p>
* Before:
*
* <pre>
* @Builder
* class Example {
* private int foo;
* private final String bar;
* }
* </pre>
*
* After:
*
* <pre>
* class Example<T> {
* private T foo;
* private final String bar;
*
* private Example(T foo, String bar) {
* this.foo = foo;
* this.bar = bar;

* return new ExampleBuilder<T>();

*
* private ExampleBuilder() {}

* public ExampleBuilder foo(T foo) {
* this.foo = foo;
* return this;

* this.bar = bar;
* return this;
