I am trying to use Jackson to deserialize Json, where I have a builder that creates my objects. This is similar to Jackson + Builder Pattern?. However, to create my builder, I need to do MyObject.builder(), as the builder method does additional initialization beyond that done in the constructor.
The documentation at http://wiki.fasterxml.com/JacksonFeatureBuilderPattern seems to only allow changing the prefix to the method names for setting values and the method name that creates the final object.
