FluentBuilderGenerator

The FluentBuilderGenerator generate builders (based on the Builder Pattern) for object creation for unit testing. With help of these generated classes it is possible to create custom objects in a fluent syntax style. The generator is implementation of javax.annotation.processing.AbstractProcessor from Annotation Processing Tool and it can be used with Maven, Gradle, Ant or just Eclipse.

After the fork from BLUECARAT AG many changes was merged to this project and released in 1.1.0 version. Some of them are implemented in a diffrent way, so check the changlelog.
