Names

The named() element explicitly specifies the property’s name, overriding the name that would normally be inferred from the Java source code.

We recommend that you only use this element when the desired name cannot be used in Java source code. Examples of that include a name that would be a reserved Java keyword (eg "package"), or a name that has punctuation, eg apostrophes.

The name is HTML escaped.

For example:

import lombok.Getter;
import lombok.Setter;

public class ToDoItem {

    @PropertyLayout(
        named="Description of this item"
    )
    @Getter @Setter
    private String description;

    // ...
}

Alternatives

The framework also provides a separate, powerful mechanism for internationalization.
