Interface ClassFileBuilder<E extends ClassFileElement, B extends ClassFileBuilder<E,B>>

Type Parameters:
E - the element type
B - the builder type

public sealed interface ClassFileBuilder<E extends ClassFileElement, B extends ClassFileBuilder<E,B>> extends Consumer<E> permits ClassBuilder, FieldBuilder, MethodBuilder, CodeBuilder
A builder for a classfile or portion of a classfile. Builders are rarely created directly; they are passed to handlers by methods such as ClassFile.build(ClassDesc, Consumer) or to transforms. Elements of the newly built entity can be specified abstractly (by passing a ClassFileElement to with(ClassFileElement) or concretely by calling the various withXxx methods.
