Adds two new fields on the
@Optionannotation to configure whether or not a parameter is required during the instantiation of the builder or during the creation of the object to be built.In combination with the fix for successfully suppressing the generation of
get/set/withmethods, this allows preconfiguring a builder with a set of immutable parameters and/or enforce the user to provide mandatory parameters at creation time.In case of a conflicting configuration, e.g. when a default value is specified simultaneously, a warning is logged and the annotation processor gracefully prefers the attributes during instantiation/creation.
This feature is fully backwards-compatible, as this additional functionality is disabled by default and hence behaves like the current/latest version.
