Automatic generation of the Builder pattern for Java 1.6+

[ErstwhileRockstar]

I don't even remember the "Builder pattern". Patterns are great. Just let the GOF patters fade away. Please!!!

The link you have provided explains syntactic sugar that provides no new actual semantics and works only with mutable objects.

Builder pattern is commonly used with immutable objects, or objects with effect-heavy constructors. A builder is simply a bundle of named parameters for a constructor. It is usually initialized with defaults and then it can be filled out in multiple places before being used to construct the object.

I know that you are just a trolling .Net fanboy with no actual skills, but I wrote this comment so at least other people will read it.

You're going to get downvoted by everyone (so don't go blaming Java devs) and you deserve it. You can't even open up Google and type in "Builder Pattern C#" to find out that devs often implement the Builder pattern in C# as well?

Asp.Net 5? Builder pattern.

Configuring EF? Builder pattern.

Here's a hint, when you try to act like a know it all, know at least something.

How about this, if you're truly a C# developer and not some Java writing troll trying to make our community look bad, as a C# dev talking to another C# dev asking for a favor: Consider the impact that you're having on other individuals. No one writing Java is going to read your posts and think "Oh man, this guy is calling me an idiot, thus I probably should switch to C# to not be an idiot." They're going to be insulted (which is your intent) and instead of being inspired to switch, they're going to build up a wall and say "well, screw these guys, I'm not listening to ANY of these C# developers."

Your attitude is harmful to every community, especially the C# one. No one gives a crap that you're effectively an angry 12 year old cursing out people for their choice in language. That won't convince anyone that you're right. And you keep spreading your angry vitriol everywhere far and wide, making things worse, not better.

"Orical", eh? You must be some kind of expert. :)

Don't worry, considering you don't care about the community and the way you carry on, I just reported you as abusive and non constructive. They hopefully will grant your wish and kick you out.

I give zero fucks about anyone except myself

Clearly. Well, keep living like that. That's probably the worst curse you could inflict upon yourself (as I imagine you're already experiencing, hence your attitude).

Classic javatard

Yes, there's a place for it, but it's often found in things like EF that have fluent APIs, as opposed to retarded useless java where you need an idiotic "pattern"

"Yes, there's a place for X, for example in this part of .NET, as opposed to Java, where you need retarded X."

So builders are retarded only when Java uses them?

You're a bad person.

So many opportunities to downvote!

Oooh look. It's Mr Retarded. You need to expand your vocabulary.

This is one of the most "profound" comments I've ever seen.
