Instantiating an abstract class

[Stephen Colebourne <sc...@eurobell.co.uk>]

Hi,
I would like to be able to define a class as abstract so I only have to
define the method signatures. (BCEL would then be used to generate the
implementations). However, I would also like to be able to instantiate the
class using the standard new operator (This must work in a standard IDE,
like Eclipse). From what I have seen so far its impossible (I will have to
use a factory), but have I missed something? Any other bright ideas?

Stephen
