> This is not completely thought out yet, but if folks like the idea I might persue it further.
> I would like to use AbstractStateMachine but cannot extend from it:
> class B extends A /*, AbstractStateMachine */ {
>   // copy source from AbstractStateMachine here
> }
> I propose here a StateMachineSupport class that provides for use by subclassing and for use by delegation.  The constructors are a little messy, but in the end I have
> public class StateMachineSupport {
>   // use by subclassing
>   protected StateMachineSupport(...) {
>   }
>   // use by delegation
>   public StateMachineSupport(Object delegator, ...) {
>   }
>   // ... methods from AbstractStateMachine
> }
> public abstract class AbstractStateMachine extends StateMachineSupport {
>   protected AbstractStateMachine(...) {
>     super(...);
>   }
> }
> // use by subclassing
> class ConcreteStateMachine extends AbstractStateMachine {
>   ConcreteStateMachine() {
>     super(..."stopwatch.xml");
>   }
>   public void reset() { ... }
>   public void running() { ... }
>   public void paused() { ... }
>   public void stopped() { ... }
> }
> // use by delegation
> class DelegatingStateMachine extends SomethingElse {
>   StateMachineSupport delegate;
>   DelegatingStateMachine() {
>     delegate = new StateMachineSupport(this, ..."stopwatch.xml");
>   }
>   public void reset() { ... }
>   public void running() { ... }
>   public void paused() { ... }
>   public void stopped() { ... }
> }
> StateMachineSupport.java, AbstractStateMachine2.java, StateMachineSupportTest.java, and AbstractStateMachine2Test.java attached.
