Feature Request: Lombok Style Builders

[morrica]

Lombok's builder pattern uses a static method, builder(), to obtain builders for annotated objects. Many tools, like MapStruct, are designed to automatically detect builders of this pattern. The MinFraud SDK uses constructors to create builders (new Type.Builder()) and some of those constructors take arguments (Transaction.Builder(device)). This makes it combersome integrate the MinFraud SDK with tools expecting Lombok pattern builders.

Please consider modifying the current builder pattern to match Lombok or add Lombok pattern builders in addition to your current pattern in a future release.

The change would be:

Transaction.builder()
    .device(device)
    .build();

Rather than:

new Transaction.Builder(device)
    .build();

Thanks for the suggestion! We'll keep it in mind. I think we'd want to see that there is enough demand before considering expanding/changing our API for this.
