Why not? :

User user = new UserBuilder() {{
     firstName = "Remi";
     lastName = "Forax";
     addresses = new Address[] {
         new AddressBuilder() {{
             zipCode = "30785";
         }},
         new AddressBuilder() {{
             zipCode = "67899";
         }}
     };
}}.build();
