Currently, WBEMListenerFactory returns a static WBEMListener(SBLIM) instance that is used by all listeners in the JRE. With the introduction of listener properties (see bugs 3496380 and 3496385), there is now a need to store instance-specific data within WBEMListener(SBLIM), so a unique instance should be returned for each WBEMListenerFactory call so that setProperty() from multiple listeners do not overwrite each other.
