Subject:   Use static initializer for thread safety

public static Object getInstance(){
if(instance == null)
instance = new Object();
return instance;
}


isn't thread safe.


this is:


private static Object instance = new Object();


public static Object getInstance(){
return instance;
}


Of course you don't want your constructor to throw an exception or you'll get a ClassNotFoundException...
