I may have been able to avoid two or three abstract classes with default methods, that's true. Static methods on interfaces would have helped avoid some of the factories but all in all I feel Java7 hasn't been an obstacle. > I had considered proposing an update to Java 8, That would be a separate thread, I guess. I'd not oppose such a move but would probably prefer to get Compress 1.17 out of the door with Java7 as baseline first (Tika is likely waiting for COMPRESS-445) .
