If there is an easygoing path to implement builder pattern code would be more valuable.

Eg : 

Like a @Accessors annotation, in one case we add a @Accessors annotation by default a public getter and a public setter method is made

@Accessors String name

Will compile to java code : 

    private String name;
     
    public String getName() {
    return this.name;
    }     
    public void setName(final String name) {
    this.name = name;
    }


In the same manner, if we have an easy way to generate builder pattern code as mentioned below 

Eg : 

@Builder class Person { 
String name 
}

Will compile to java code : 

public class Person {
	private String name;

	public static class Builder {
		 private String name;

		public Builder withName(String name) {
			this.name = name;
			return this;
		}

		 public Person build() {
			return new Person(this);
		}
	}

	private Person(Builder builder) {
		this.name = builder.name;
	}
}
