> The Enumeration in org.apache.commons.discovery.tools.Service is broken - it
> will only work in the (admittedly common) case where you do:
>   while(e.hasMoreElements()) e.nextElement();
> If you repeatedly call nextElement(), you will get the wrong results. In
> particular, this uggly but technically correct code will fail to behave sanely:
>   try {
>     while(true)
>       e.nextElement();
>   } catch (NoSuchElementException e) {
>   }
> The code needs hacking arround to look something more like this:
> return new Enumeration() {
>   private Object object = getNextClassInstance();
>   public boolean hasMoreElements() {
>     return object != null;
>   }
>   public Object nextElement() {
>     if(object == null) {
>       throw new NoSuchElementException();
>     }
>     Object obj = object;
>     object = getNextClassInstance();
>     return obj;
>   }
>   private Object getNextClassInstance() {
>     // as before
>   }
> };
