ClassFileBuilder is a preview API of the Java platform.
Programs can only use ClassFileBuilder when preview features are enabled.
Preview features may be removed in a future release, or upgraded to permanent features of the Java platform.
A builder for a classfile or portion of a classfile. Builders are rarely created directly; they are passed to handlers by methods such as ClassFile.build(ClassDesc, Consumer)PREVIEW or to transforms. Elements of the newly built entity can be specified abstractly (by passing a ClassFileElementPREVIEW to with(ClassFileElement) or concretely by calling the various withXxx methods.
