> What about enabling the builders (ToStringBuilder, EqualsBuilder, etc.) that use reflection to use annotations to find the field to include?
> Something like:
> ToStringBuilder.annotationsBasedToString(Object object, Class<Annotation> class, Class<?> reflectUpToClass)
> One could use the JPA-Annotation @ID for example, espescially for Equals- and HashCodeBuilder. There should also be some default annotation comming with LangTwo.
> Usage:
> public class User
> {
>   @StringRepresentation
>   @EqualsAndHashCode
>   private String name
>   @StringRepresentation
>   private String email;
>   private String password;
>   // ...
>   @Override
>   public String toString()
>   {
>     return annotationsBasedToString(this);
>   }
>   @Override
>   public boolean equals(Object other)
>   {
>     return annotationsBasedEquals(this, other);
>   }
>   @Override
>   public int hashCode()
>   {
>     return annotationsBasedHashCode(this);
>   }
> }
