Good morning, Out of curiosity why must reflection be used for the create*Stream() methods in the ArchiveStreamFactory and CompressorStreamFactory? There is a cast at the end of each method to a corresponding interface anyway (ex ArchiveInputStream, ArchiveOutputStream, etc) so why cant we use this knowledge ahead of time and execute on the interface? The current implementation makes it next to impossible to capture errors being thrown by the constructors of new implementations since the reflective methods discard any Exceptions and simply return null.
I would like to know why this design decision was made just in case I am missing something. Regards, Tim
