If you have this problem, the library you're using is incorrectly using the Builder pattern. All required parameters should be in the constructor of the builder. Then the other methods on the builder should be optional configuration. For instance on Android you often see a builder that takes a `Context` in the constructor because that's almost always required.

This is contrary to the OP's example, where he passes data and num to the constructor, which is how I've seen it used frequently. The Builder pattern is often recommended to "make code easier to read" and wouldn't be useful if many/most of those parameters were required.
