Incomplete Javadoc

The current Javadoc does not include methods generated by Lombok.

See:

Adjust to next draft of BEACON

Woken up by your implementation I started to create a next (hopefully final) draft of BEACON specification. Have a look at the current version. The major changes would be:

• Remove repeatability of some meta fields (do you know if any use case for this?)
• Add relation types via URI pattern in meta field RELATION
• Drop support of non-URI values in meta field RELATION

The first would simplify the code, the second would add a new method in BeaconLink.java, such as:

public URI getRelationType() {
    String relation = metaFields.getValue(BeaconMetaField.RELATION);
    if (relation.contains('{+ID}') || relation.contains('{ID}') {
        return get(BeaconMetaField.RELATION, annotationToken);
    } else {
        return URI.create(relation)
    }
} 

I would like to know whether this change is compatible with your use case of BEACON
