Annotation Type Setter

@Target({FIELD,TYPE})
@Retention(SOURCE)
public @interface Setter
Put on any field to make lombok build a standard setter.

Complete documentation is found at the project lombok features page for @Getter and @Setter.

Even though it is not listed, this annotation also has the onParam and onMethod parameter. See the full documentation for more details.

Example: 

     private @Setter int foo;
will generate: 
     public void setFoo(int foo) {
         this.foo = foo;
     }

This annotation can also be applied to a class, in which case it'll be as if all non-static fields that don't already have a Setter annotation have the annotation.
