Normally we create a class with the constructor, set/get methods as below

public class Person {
    private String name;
    private Integer age;
    private String email;

    public Person() {
    }

    public Person(String name, Integer age, String email) {
        this.name = name;
        this.age = age;
        this.email = email;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public Integer getAge() {
        return age;
    }

    public void setAge(Integer age) {
        this.age = age;
    }

    public String getEmail() {
        return email;
    }

    public void setEmail(String email) {
        this.email = email;
    }
}

To set the properties values, either we can use the constructor or set/get methods

public static void main(String[] args){
        Person p = new Person();
        p.setName("Jason");
        p.setEmail("jason@hotmail.com");
        p.setAge(20);
}

I don’t remember the name of this pattern, but nowadays I tend to do this.

public class Person {
    private String name;
    private Integer age;
    private String email;

    public Person() {
    }

    public Person(String name, Integer age, String email) {
        this.name = name;
        this.age = age;
        this.email = email;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public Person setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
        return this;
    }

    public Integer getAge() {
        return age;
    }

    public Person setAge(Integer age) {
        this.age = age;
        return this;
    }

    public String getEmail() {
        return email;
    }

    public Person setEmail(String email) {
        this.email = email;
        return this;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args){
        Person p = new Person();
        p.setName("jason").setEmail("jason@hotmail.com").setAge(20);
    }
}

UPDATE:

This is actually called fluent interface
