Subject: [pool] can the factory field ever usefully be null?

Now that the setFactory() methods have been removed, and the factories
made immutable, does it still make sense to ever allow a null factory?

Some places still check for null, some assume non-null.
There are also some ctors which set the factory to null.

Seems to me that the factory field needs to be final and non-null; the
ctor should enfore non-null, and then there is no further need to
check it for null.

Then we can remove ctors that do not specify a factory. For example: 
GenericObjectPool()

Yes, and

StackKeyedObjectPool()
StackKeyedObjectPool(int)
StackKeyedObjectPool(int,int)

Also

SoftReferenceObjectPool() - already deprecated and marked for removal
