Generates a lot of code which fits with a class that is a representation of an immutable entity.

Equivalent to @Getter @FieldDefaults(makeFinal=true, level=AccessLevel.PRIVATE) @AllArgsConstructor @ToString @EqualsAndHashCode.

Complete documentation is found at the project lombok features page for @Value.

@Target(ElementType.TYPE) @Retention(RetentionPolicy.SOURCE) public @interface Value {
If you specify a static constructor name, then the generated constructor will be private, and instead a static factory method is created that other classes can use to create instances. We suggest the name: "of", like so:
    public @Value(staticConstructor = "of") class Point { final int x, y; }
Default: No static constructor, instead the normal constructor is public.
Returns:Name of static 'constructor' method to generate (blank = generate a normal constructor).
