Re: [jgroups-users] Getters and setters in 4.0

Hi, Bela!

In java-style API widely used a builder pattern for getting a fluent
interface in the object construction. I'd expected to see something like
this:

JChannel = new JChannelBuilder(required config param)
   .setDiscardOwnMessages(true)
   .setName(name)
   ...
   .build();

Another option here is an immutability of jchannel internals.
