I for one would like to see the getInstance() methods renamed to
getClassName(). With java 5 static importing, it enables concise
construction/getting without specifying the class name. It's short,
highly readable, and most of the time the generic types can be inferred.
It's things like this that require a rewrite/break with previous
compatibility. Let alone the methods that can't have sensible returns
because they're void at the moment.
Cheers

I agree on the latter point - that JSE5 is in some ways a complete
shift in Java paradigm. Whatever solution is chosen going forward, +1
for a cross-Commons approach... otherwise figuring out compatibility
between Commons JARs will become even tougher.

We need to remember why JDK5 is so important - its because its almost
a whole new language. Its not a small incremental step like prior
upgrades. We should treat it as such. (Especially as lots of big
enterprises are perfectly happy on JDK1.4 and aren't planning to
upgrade)
