[Webmacro-devel] Another benefit of the new CT abstraction

[Marc P. <ma...@an...>]

Guys,

We can now add a SingleInstanceHelpersLoader implementation to WM that will 
never create more than once instance of a helper class, and these will only 
be added to the context if required.

This is nice, for those thread-safe global helpers. Sure we'd need to sync 
for atomic get (null) and put so it's not perfect, but we might be able to 
work around that.

We could do this before by breaking the contract of CT and returning an 
existing static instance, but now we don't even need to do this fake 
factory method for each class. Of course in that situation we didn't need 
syncing.

Brian - how's JSR166 progressing?

Marc
