A JavaBeanFloatPropertyBuilder can be used to create JavaBeanFloatProperties. To create a JavaBeanFloatProperty one first has to call create() to generate a builder, set the required properties, and then one can call build() to generate the property. 
 Not all properties of a builder have to specified, there are several combinations possible. As a minimum the name(String) of the property and the bean(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 (getter(String) and setter(String)) or the getter and setter Methods directly (getter(Method) and setter(Method)). 

All methods to change properties return a reference to this builder, to enable
method chaining.

 If you have to generate adapters for the same property of several instances of the same class, you can reuse a JavaBeanFloatPropertyBuilder. by switching the Java Bean instance (with bean(Object) and calling build().
