Adding a small example for more clarity. In the below example, lets say the
usecase is to print "******" in place of the actual username (to mask the
personally identifable information), this will help include the outputs of the
methods by calling reflection invoke on the methods that are annotated with
`@ToStringInclude`
```java
package org.apache.commons.lang3.builder;
import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils;
class TestFixture {
@ToStringExclude
private String username;
@ToStringExclude
private String phoneNumber;
@ToStringInclude
private String toStringUsername() {
return StringUtils.repeat("*", StringUtils.length(username));
}
@ToStringInclude
private String toStringPhoneNumber() {
return StringUtils.repeat("*", StringUtils.length(phoneNumber));
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return new ReflectionToStringBuilder(this).build();
}
}
```
