Feature Request: Copy field @Named annotation to constructor parameters

[Pablo Grisafi]

Maybe I'm not using lombok the right way, but I have this problem.

I love to use the @AllArgsConstructor(onConstructor = @__(@Inject)) when working with Guice. However, once I need to inject @Named properties (tipically configuration Strings, I need to remove the   @AllArgsConstructor(onConstructor = @__(@Inject))

and type a constructor like 

       

       @Inject

public MyClass(MyDependency dependency, @Named("project.version") String projectVersion) {

this.dependency = dependency;

this.projectVersion = projectVersion;

}

I think it would be nicer to be able to write

@AllArgsConstructor(onConstructor = @__(@Inject), copyFieldAnnotationsToConstructorParams=true)

class MyClass{

    private final MyDependency dependency;

    private final  @Named("project.version") String projectVersion;

}

And gt he constructor automatically generated. At the very least, it will help Guice users like myself.

Thanks again for this awesome addition to Java

This feels a bit hacky as sometimes not all annotations should be copied and/or are allowed on parameters. I proposed a separate annotation @OnConstructor one day and started to implement it, but it was more work than I thought. Even as a Guice user, I can live without it using a few (sometimes ugly) workarounds (injecting properties could be rather hard).
