Torsten Curdt commented on COMPRESS-61:
---------------------------------------
I really don't see the big benefit in adding the static accessor. The code to
cache the factory yourself is so minimal that I don't see why we should add
this to the API. All that we are left with is legacy code that barely saves
more than 2 lines of user code. Plus this falls down as soon as anyone extends
the factory anyway. Let's not go there.
> 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.
