Hi Anthony,
This change was requested by a member of the expert group. The problem with the
all-static version of the object factory is that there was no way for a JAXB
provider to associate data with it. Depending on how a provider implements the
JAXB spec, they may or may not find it useful to set data on the object factory
(ie - a JDBC connection). This wasn't possible with the all-static version, so
we converted it to a regular class and added the get/setProperty() api's.
