Interface ClassBuilder

All Superinterfaces:
ClassFileBuilder<ClassElement, ClassBuilder>, Consumer<ClassElement>
public sealed interface ClassBuilder extends ClassFileBuilder<ClassElement, ClassBuilder>
A builder for a class file. ClassFile provides different build methods that accept handlers to configure such a builder; ClassFile.build(ClassDesc, Consumer) suffices for basic usage, while ClassFile.build(ClassEntry, ConstantPoolBuilder, Consumer) allows fine-grained control over the constant pool.

Refer to ClassFileBuilder for general guidance and caution around the use of builders for structures in the class file format.
