I need java code to create a small demo program for a pattern display

Arnygn asked:

I need a Java code solution to produce the following pattern:
*
*---*
*---------*
*---------------*
*---------------------*
*---------------*
*----------*
*----*
*
The - can be replaced with spaces.[Sorry the preview does not look good so follow that the pattern actually should be shaped like a rhombus]

No methods to be used. Straightforward code with a main function

What I have tried:

I have tried some codes but the shape of the pattern does not follow the Rhombus.
