Description

import groovy.transform.TupleConstructor
import groovy.transform.ToString
import groovy.transform.InheritConstructors
import groovy.transform.builder.Builder
import groovy.transform.builder.SimpleStrategy

@Builder(builderStrategy=SimpleStrategy, prefix='with')
@TupleConstructor
@ToString
class Person{
    String name;

    void setName(String n){
        println "Called setName(n=$n)"
        name = n;
    }
}

println Person.constructors

println  ( [ new Person(name: 'Map style'), new Person('@TupleConsructor'), new Person().with{ name = 'With style'; it }, new Person().withName('@Builder') ] )

In output we get:

Called setName(n=Map style)
Called setName(n=With style)
[Person(Map style), Person(@TupleConsructor), Person(With style), Person(@Builder)]

So, all forms of new object instatiation like Map-style, With block became different with new methods, defined by AST transformations.
