Release 1.2?

[pdoubleya]

Hi - just found your project - wondering if a new release is in order, as the last one in the Maven repos is from July 2012? http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.github.lehphyro.fastbuilder/fastbuilder/1.1

Thanks!

Hi, as far as I remember, there is nothing new worth of a new release in this project. Would you like to contribute something? I'd be glad to merge your changes and make a new release if you do.

Thanks for the quick reply - I just found the project today, as I am thinking about/need to create a bunch of builders to help with unit testing, and would like to try it out. I wanted to first make sure there were no significant changes since 2011 before I test it. I will be glad to share something if I end up using it.

Also - wondering if you are aware of https://github.com/davidmarquis/fluent-interface-proxy? From a high level the approaches seem similar.

Nope, I wasn't aware of fluent-interface-proxy, thank you for pointing it
out. It uses runtime reflection to call setters on mutable objects so you
might not be able to have immutable objects, also, it might be slower than
fastbuilder because I generate bytecode implementing the builder interface
so you get code very similar to what you'd get if you wrote it by hand
although performance doesn't matter much for unit testing. There is a
benchmark comparing fastbuilder against code wrote by hand here:
https://github.com/lehphyro/fastbuilder/blob/master/src/test/java/com/github/lehphyro/fastbuilder/benchmark/Benchmark.java

Anyway, it's worth to try both and see what works best for you.

Thanks much for the clarification on the differences between the two libraries.
