How to run code after constructor in a Lombok builder

Question

I have a class that I want to use Lombok.Builder and I need pre-process of some parameters. Something like this:

@Builder
public class Foo {
   public String val         


        

Answer 1

In Foo you could manually add a constructor, have that do the initialization, and put @Builder on the constructor. I know that you already know this, but I think it is the right solution, and you won't forget to add the parameter since you do want to use the code in the builder anyway.
