Description
Describe the solution you'd like
Create two new vendor config named x-exclude-equals-hash-code and x-exclude-to-string to mark class fields who will be excluded from methods equals and hashCode and toString method, this issue is very helpful, main equals and hashCode, because this methods control class equality and if this class and In Set collections this methods is used to remove duplicates, instead of check all fields
Describe alternatives you've considered
another alternative is create config named x-include-equals-hash-code and x-include-to-string, if class have this props include only fields inside in methods ( both props receive a list os fields names)
Additional context
When class use lombok annotations to exclude field from methods:
mark field with follow annotations:
@EqualsAndHashCode.Exclude
@ToString.Exclude

Research direction
Start by examining how Java generator vendor extensions are represented and how generated models currently define equals, hashCode, and toString; the issue names no files or tests. Compare the proposed x-exclude-equals-hash-code and x-exclude-to-string options with the alternative include options and Lombok's @EqualsAndHashCode.Exclude and @ToString.Exclude annotations. Done means one clear configuration approach is implemented for the relevant generated models.
