public final class FunctionFactory

extends Object

Contains static factory methods to create Function objects, which is an alternative some prefer to using constructors and the new keyword. Moreover, this makes it possible to create each different type of Function object without having to refer directly to each subclass.

This is also convenient for those using J2SE 5.0, because with static imports these methods can be used directly without using the FunctionFactory. prefix.

Thanks to Michael Neale for his feedback on this.
