The specification for List (and other collections) 'requests' that all implementations should have a constructor that takes in a Collection object (to do an addAll). I was respecting this by not confusing the constructors. Also, I may need constructors to do the simple instanceof check, thus named statics work more easily. > I don't recall how to use reflection on static methods, only problem I > could think of with 'wrap'. Simply specify null, where you would specify the object in the invoke.
