The builders are to help the building of complex objects
in a verbose manner thus eliminating the confusion that
arises due to methods with many parameters of similar type.
So if I wanted to create an option 'a' that is required:
OptionBuilder builder = new OptionBuilder();
Option a = builder.isRequired().create("a");
If you wanted to say that Option 'a' also has child
options:
Option a = builder.isRequired()
.withChildren(childOptions)
.create("a");
Does that explain the process?
