Interface ClassBuilder

All Superinterfaces:
ClassFileBuilder<ClassElement, ClassBuilder>, Consumer<ClassElement>
public sealed interface ClassBuilder extends ClassFileBuilder<ClassElement, ClassBuilder>
A builder for classfiles. Builders are not created directly; they are passed to handlers by methods such as ClassFile.build(ClassDesc, Consumer) or to class transforms. The elements of a classfile can be specified abstractly (by passing a ClassElement to ClassFileBuilder.with(ClassFileElement)) or concretely by calling the various withXxx methods.
