PropertyDescriptorBuilder (PMD Core 6.35.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- net.sourceforge.pmd.properties.builders.PropertyDescriptorBuilder<E,T>

Type Parameters:

E - Value type of the built descriptor

T - Concrete type of this builder instance. Removes code duplication at the expense of a few unchecked casts. Everything goes well if this parameter's value is correctly set.

Direct Known Subclasses:

MultiValuePropertyBuilder, SingleValuePropertyBuilder
```
@Deprecated
public abstract class PropertyDescriptorBuilder<E,T extends PropertyDescriptorBuilder<E,T>>
extends Object
```
Deprecated.
From 7.0.0 on, the only supported way to build properties will be through PropertyFactory. This class hierarchy is replaced by the newer PropertyBuilder.

Base class for property builders.

Since:

6.0.0
