Enclosing class:

ImmutableEntity<T extends ZoePersistence.EntityBody>

@NotThreadSafe
public static final class ImmutableEntity.Builder<T extends ZoePersistence.EntityBody>
extends Object

Builds instances of type ImmutableEntity. Initialize attributes and then invoke the build() method to create an immutable instance.

Builder is not thread-safe and generally should not be stored in a field or collection, but instead used immediately to create instances.
