Java(TM) Boutique - The Anatomy Of A Groovy Builder

Listing 1: Removing Meaningless Booleans: A more verbose example of how a builder might look in Java.

NavItem homeItem = new NavItemBuilder()
                .withName( "Home" )
                .withFocus()
                .build();

        NavItem adminItem = new NavItemBuilder()
                .withName( "Admin" )
                .hidden()
                .build();

        NavItem logoutItem = new NavItemBuilder()
                .withName( "Logout" )
                .build();

        Navigation nav = new NavigationBuilder()
                .withItem( homeItem )
                .withItem( adminItem )
                .withItem( logoutItem )
                .build();

        Content content = new ContentBuilder()
                .withTable( new Table() )
                .build();

        Screen screen = new ScreenBuilder()
                .withTitle( "My Page" )
                .withNavigation( nav )
                .withContent( content )
                .withFooter(new Footer( "Our Footer text" ) )
                .build();
