I make my [original program][1] more interesting and try to make the builder API more easier to read: * Now it's a static method of Builder: Pizza.Builder.recipeBuild(...) ,who bake the pizza with your customized Builder * Customer only need to setup her/his Builder, she/he doesn't have to know anything about the workflow about the recipe. But still, she/he can override some methods in the recipe to make the pizza more special. * I try to make it a builder pattern and it has all characters in Builder Pattern: * Director: recipeBuild * Builder: Pizza.Builder * Complex Product: Pizza * The recipe reference from [here][2] --- Main.java public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException { ArrayList<String> myToppings = new ArrayList<String>(); myToppings.add("Mushrooms"); myToppings.add("Onions"); myToppings.add("Black olives"); myToppings.add("Pineapple"); // Raw build edition.
