Christian Grobmeier commented on COMPRESS-61:
---------------------------------------------
Creating an object and caring myself about caching factories (if i need it)
also gives me the chance to integrate the factory f.e. in Spring and use it
with AOP features. This is not possible with static methods since those cannot
be defined in an interface. I could use those features if I want to define
inside the Spring XML which compression algorithm I want to use.
As a spring user, I would enjoy to have objects more than the static solution.
> ArchiveStreamFactory could have static methods as well

> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Sebb
>
> ArchiveStreamFactory currently has to be instantiated in order to use it.
> The methods have to be instance methods in order for subclasses to override
> them, but until that is done (will it ever be done?) it seems a bit
> unnecessary to create an instance of the class.
> Perhaps there could be a private static instance of the class that could be
> used with public static methods?
> The same considerations apply to the other factories.
