> The Javadoc comment below states that the method "throws
> IllegalArgumentException if the prototype is null":
> /**
> ..
> * @param prototype the object to clone each time in the factory
> * @return the <code>prototype</code> factory
> * @throws IllegalArgumentException if the prototype is null
> * @throws IllegalArgumentException if the prototype cannot be
> cloned
> */
> public static <T> Factory<T> prototypeFactory(T prototype) {
> return PrototypeFactory.<T>prototypeFactory(prototype);
> }
> However, the method returns a NULL_INSTANCE object instead of throwing
> IllegalArgumentException when called with null.
> Suggested Fixes:
> 1. Change "@throws IllegalArgumentException if the prototype is null" and
> "@return" to "@return NULL_INSTANCE if the prototype is null".
> or
> 2. Remove the entire "throws IllegalArgumentException if the prototype is
> null".
