+1 for the DocumentBuilderFactory. I was trying to figure out why such an idea was implemented. I saw it sort of like having multiple implementations of DEFLATE on the same system. Seems like you really only need one...

There is also a lot of Java stuff dealing with dependency management. Not all of the principles are unsound, but they do have more long-term effects and make the code clutterly in the interim.
