Getting started

IntelliJ Idea

First: Install the plugin from the marketplace or via this button:

Then: Write a small class composed of a few attributes

public class RemoteServer {
    private final int port;
    private final String ip;
}

Then Alt + Insert and select "Generate Step Builder":

Alternatively you can also Ctrl + Shift + a > Generate ... > Generate Step Builder

And then: Select the fields you want to be defined by the step builder:

Finally click OK and voila your code is generated:

public class RemoteServer {
    private final int port;
    private final String ip;

    private RemoteServer(Builder builder) {
        port = builder.port;
        ip = builder.ip;
    }

    public static IPort builder() {
        return new Builder();
    }

    public interface IBuild {
        RemoteServer build();
    }

    public interface IIp {
        IBuild withIp(String val);
    }

    public interface IPort {
        IIp withPort(int val);
    }

    public static final class Builder implements IIp, IPort, IBuild {
        private String ip;
        private int port;

        private Builder() {
        }

        @Override
        public IBuild withIp(String val) {
            ip = val;
            return this;
        }

        @Override
        public IIp withPort(int val) {
            port = val;
            return this;
        }

        public RemoteServer build() {
            return new RemoteServer(this);
        }
    }
}

You can now simply use your builder:

var remoteServer = RemoteServer.builder()
    .withPort(8080)
    .withIp("42.42.42.42")
    .build();
