If you don't want to pull in/learn the Immutables library, I'd at least like to see some kind of fluent builder to allow things like this:
client.newMessage()
.from("+19876543219")
.to("+19195554444")
.to("+12345678912")
.withText("This is my text")
.withMedia("https://myhost.com/path/to/file.jpg")
.withTag("blahblah")
.send();
Creating all these objects with new
is really verbose.
I'd like to see similar interfaces for building other components like the client itself and applications.
It's easier to "learn" the Immutables library than it is to write a builder yourself. Nobody wants to maintain a custom written builder class.
Immutables gives you a nice builder pattern, and automatically generates the code for you. Having large constructors with multiple parameters is not easy to use, especially when optional params are added
