RequestFactoryFactoryFactory.java

...because how am I going to configure my RequestFactoryFactory without a RequestFactoryFactoryFactory?

Don't get me wrong, there's *plenty* of valid criticisms about Java.

...but I really don't get the "FooFactoryFactoryFactoryFactory" jokes. Java just doesn't... look like that. Feels like they've been written by someone who last used Java about 20 years ago, and read the gang of 4 book *way* too literally.

If you need a factory to make a factory you're missing the point of a factory.
