/**
* Annotation defining which method is to be used to apply the default property values
* when code generating immutable beans.
*
* Each non-collection property in an immutable bean normally has to be initialized before use.
* This annotation allows default values to be set when creating the builder.
* Note that the defaults apply to the builder, not to the constructor of the bean.
*
* The method must be a private static void instance method that takes a single argument of the type 'Builder'.
* Private is necessary as it is called from the builder constructor.
* For example:
*
* {@literal @}ImmutableDefaults
* private static void applyDefaults(Builder builder) {
* builder.group(Group.STANDARD); // default the group property to 'STANDARD'
* }
*
