This document contains valuable information for developers that wish to contribute to this module.
The conventions defined in the "Client Developer Notes" (DEVELOP-client.md)
also apply to contributors.
Some documentation interesting for contributors may not be written in JavaDoc but contained in "normal" comments or separate, non-Java files.
The name of a factory method starts with new....
new... is used in favor of create... to makes it more clear that the method
returns a "new" (plain) Java Object, similar to the use of the keyword new.
In particular, new... avoids the ambiguity of the prefix create... which
sometimes also implies that a "persistent" object is created, as in
File.createTempFile or in the context of "CRUD" operations
("Create-Read-Update-Delete").
