Hi Claude, Better :-) Java has the general-use Supplier, so... assuming a producer creates something, could this be an actual Supplier, like a TextSupplier that implements a get()? Or, does the class draw/render/print _onto_ something in which case it could be a Java Consumer<Writer>. Some of this depends on details I've not looked at in your branch yet...
