Is there any annotation available for Lombok private NoArgConstructor? Lombok @NoArgConstructor creates a public Constructor with no parameter. But I want private constructor annotation.

    In the case when you have only static methods you can use the experimental @UtilityClass. "By marking your class with @UtilityClass, lombok will automatically generate a private constructor...". Commented Mar 12, 2023 at 19:26

Use the access level element in the annotation. @NoArgsConstructor(access = AccessLevel.PRIVATE)

Funny because that has more characters than actually typing the private constructor
@GabrielBB Depends on the class name right? And also it takes more lines of code if you have a style checker that enforces that braces are in separate lines.
I agree, but typing all the getters, setters and constructors is way longer than the annotation. But if you use lombok in one place (where it shortens the syntax), typing the private no args constructor makes your code non-consistent.
