Which logic to use in Java Star pattern program without 'for' loop?

Is this the correct way to get the star pattern?

public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        System.out.println("   *");
        System.out.println("  ***");
        System.out.println(" *****");
        System.out.println("*******");
        System.out.println(" *****");
        System.out.println("  ***");
        System.out.println("   *");
     }
}
