 * A {@code JavaBeanStringPropertyBuilder} can be used to create
 * {@link JavaBeanStringProperty JavaBeanStringProperties}. To create
 * a {@code JavaBeanStringProperty} one first has to call {@link #create()}
 * to generate a builder, set the required properties, and then one can
 * call {@link #build()} to generate the property.
 * <p>
 * Not all properties of a builder have to specified, there are several
 * combinations possible. As a minimum the {@link #name(java.lang.String)} of
 * the property and the {@link #bean(java.lang.Object)} have to be specified.
 * If the names of the getter and setter follow the conventions, this is sufficient.
 * Otherwise it is possible to specify an alternative name for the getter and setter
 * ({@link #getter(java.lang.String)} and {@link #setter(java.lang.String)}) or
 * the getter and setter {@code Methods} directly ({@link #getter(java.lang.reflect.Method)}
 * and {@link #setter(java.lang.reflect.Method)}).
 * <p>
 * All methods to change properties return a reference to this builder, to enable
 * method chaining.
 * <p>
 * If you have to generate adapters for the same property of several instances
 * of the same class, you can reuse a {@code JavaBeanStringPropertyBuilder}.
 * by switching the Java Bean instance (with {@link #bean(java.lang.Object)} and
 * calling {@link #build()}.
