Interface Builder<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of object to be built

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractPaletteObjectBuilder, DefaultPaletteGroup.Builder, DefaultPaletteItem.Builder, DefaultPalettePage.Builder, DefaultPaletteSection.Builder

public interface Builder<T>

The Builder interface defines the contract for an object implementing the builder pattern.

Implementors should add methods for accepting parameters for the built object. Those methods should return the Builder instance to allow for chaining multiple parameter methods together. For example:

 public class MyBuilder implements Builder<MyObject> {
   public MyBuilder someParam(String value) {
     ... // set parameter value in builder
     return this;
   }
   
   public MyObject build() {
     MyObject obj = ...
     return obj;
   }
 }
