Builder without overriding toString.

[Mohana Rao S V]

Hi 

  I'm using @Builder but it's overriding toString method which is i don't want because it's already overriding in the super class called AbstractVo. Is there any way to tell to lombok use @Builder but skip overriding toString method.

Thanks in advance.

Writing your own toString and delegating to super should solve it.

Yes, you are correct that works, But it would be nice to have flag to override toString or not.

What do you think about this.

I do not know if that flag would be a good idea or not.
Lombock is very coherent in its "not implementing methods already
generated by the used"
and flags like that would become a pervasive thing, there would be flags for
not generating tons of things...

@Marco if we want to exclude toString method from builder by overriding it ourselves, we will first have to add the builder, which would defeat the whole purpose of lombok.

We don't want to add toString in builders in my company.
