This week I ran into the problem that I needed to provide a date format
(attribute in FXML) to one of my controls. So I needed a way to convert a
string to DateFormat, or even a comma separated list to a list of DateFormats.
This I solved with a builder for that control. How would one solved that
without builders? (What is the alternative to builders?)

Best to cycle off the builders.

Thanks Jonathan,
So what is Oracle's current position on this? Are Builders in or out? If
out, when will they be removed and how?

I was not privy to the original discussion but I am lead to believe that
Builders are no longer considered fashionable and that we are advised not
to use them.
While I realise that every type of Node basically needed its own
Builder, could someone please outline why this situation has arisen? Is it
something to do with "fluent APIs" themselves or some other reason?
Thanks,
