because that doesn't make sense. So what you have to do is

        public void runBar(final Foo foo) {

And people wonder why Java has a reputation as being verbose?


And it a *lot* more verbose if "FooFactory.release(foo);" has a chance 
of throwing an exception... say, if it were a JDBC "Connection.close()" 
method call.
