What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Annotate a class with @ ToString
2. Print the object with a lot of attributes
3. See lots of nulls

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would like to be able to hide null so it would be better readable!

I'm willing to do it myself, but I need some help to understand how lombok handle the bytecode.

Caught in umbrella #1297.

this most wanted request should not fall under the umbrella #1297. Please resurrect it !
Like many others I'm still waiting for a hideNulls option on ToString (my logs would be so less verbose !).
As said by someone in #1297 :

a separate boolean flag for hideNulls is very useful.

• This is the most wanted feature about ToString annotation
• It's much easier to use for client
• It's much easier to implement
