The RTF Text Format Converter example. RTF reader should be able to convert RTF to many text format. The example which is given in GoF book.
I had already seen this site. But here ASCIIText and Document have not been implemented. So its not that clear. If anywhere this example is complete in Java then please do provide me the same. Also if there is any real world example of prototype pattern in Java then please do provide me that also.
Thanks in advance.

I understood the builder design pattern but I was looking for a real time example of it so that I am able to understand the concept behind it. Please provide me a real time (java code) example of builder design pattern so that I am able to understand the concept behind it through code. . If possible please provide me the RTF format converter example (Complete java code). I saw the example in a website but the example was not complete.
Thanks in advance.

I don't understand how those implementations are relevant to understanding the Builder pattern.

If you say that you understand the Builder pattern, then you surely understand the concepts of the pattern. It is a fairly simple design pattern, you should be able to implement it very easily.
