Annotation Type AutoValue.Builder

@Retention(CLASS)
@Target(TYPE)
public static @interface AutoValue.Builder

Specifies that AutoValue should generate an implementation of the annotated class or interface, to serve as a builder for the value-type class it is nested within. As a simple example, here is an alternative way to write the Person class mentioned in the AutoValue example:

   @AutoValue
   abstract class Person {
     static Builder builder() {
       return new AutoValue_Person.Builder();
     }

     abstract String name();
     abstract int id();

     @AutoValue.Builder
     interface Builder {
       Builder name(String x);
       Builder id(int x);
       Person build();
     }
   }
