public class ToStringASTStubber extends AbstractASTTransformation
Joint-compilation stubber for ToString. Adds a placeholder toString() so the @ToString-generated override is visible in the stub even though Object already provides one. Useful for Java code that does super.toString() chaining or for tooling that examines declared (rather than inherited) methods.

The placeholder body returns an empty string. The full ToStringASTTransformation at CANONICALIZATION recognises the stubber tag and replaces the body with the real implementation.

      Description copied from interface: ASTTransformation
      The method is invoked when an AST Transformation is active. For local transformations, it is invoked once each time the local annotation is encountered. For global transformations, it is invoked once for every source unit, which is typically a source file.
      Parameters:
      nodes - The ASTnodes when the call was triggered. Element 0 is the AnnotationNode that triggered this annotation to be activated. Element 1 is the AnnotatedNode decorated, such as a MethodNode or ClassNode. For global transformations it is usually safe to ignore this parameter.
      source - The source unit being compiled. The source unit may contain several classes. For global transformations, information about the AST can be retrieved from this object.
