Element Detail

• exclude

  public abstract java.lang.String[] exclude

  Any fields listed here will not be taken into account in the generated equals and hashCode implementations. Mutually exclusive with of().

  Returns:

  A list of fields to exclude.

  Default:

  {}

• of

  public abstract java.lang.String[] of

  If present, explicitly lists the fields that are to be used for identity. Normally, all non-static, non-transient fields are used for identity.

  Mutually exclusive with exclude().

  Returns:

  A list of fields to use (default: all of them).

  Default:

  {}

• callSuper

  public abstract boolean callSuper

  Call on the superclass's implementations of equals and hashCode before calculating for the fields in this class. default: false

  Returns:

  Whether to call the superclass's equals implementation as part of the generated equals algorithm.

  Default:

  false

• doNotUseGetters

  public abstract boolean doNotUseGetters

  Normally, if getters are available, those are called. To suppress this and let the generated code use the fields directly, set this to true. default: false

  Returns:

  If true, always use direct field access instead of calling the getter method.

  Default:

  false

• onParam

  public abstract EqualsAndHashCode.AnyAnnotation[] onParam

  Any annotations listed here are put on the generated parameter of equals and canEqual. This is useful to add for example a Nullable annotation.
  The syntax for this feature depends on JDK version (nothing we can do about that; it's to work around javac bugs).
  up to JDK7:
  @EqualsAndHashCode(onParam=@__({@AnnotationsGoHere}))
  from JDK8:
  @EqualsAndHashCode(onParam_={@AnnotationsGohere}) // note the underscore after onParam.

  Returns:

  List of annotations to apply to the generated parameter in the equals() method.

  Default:

  {}
