Supported:

• Defining reusable factories
• Overriding fields
• Associations: Defining fields as instances of other factories
• Building a list of factories

Not Supported:

• Aliases
• Sequences

Not Planned to be supported:

• Factory Inheritance
• Lazily setting fields (based off of other properties)
• Callbacks (pre-build, post-build)

• Java 8
• A public getter and setter for each field defined or overridden.

Defining a factory:

factory("truck", Car.class, ImmutableMap.of(
                "make", "ford",
                "convertible", false,
                "yearsOwned", 5,
                "releaseDate", new Date()
        ));

Building an instance from a factory:

Car pickupTruck = build("truck");

Sometimes you need to override specific properties:

Car convertible = build("truck", ImmutableMap.of("convertible", true));

Building multiple instances from a factoy:

List<Car> pickupTrucks = buildMultiple("truck", 5);

For now FactoryJill provides a public interface with three methods, FactoryJill.factory, FactoryJill.build, and FactoryJill.buildMultiple. Check out the test directory for a complete set of usage examples.
