[picocontainer-dev] Dan North - Reviewing the language of the new PicoBuilder

Dan North (main author of 'Rico' the first Ruby IoC container) and  
'resting' committer to Pico is going to take a look at the language  
of PicoBuilder.

Why?  He's the JBehave fellow, black-belt NLP expert and lover of  
good naming (my weakpoint).

For Dan -

PicoBuilder is a way of making a PicoContainer instance for  
subsequent adding of components to.

We used to have half a dozen extended PicoContainer implementations  
that offered alternate designs to DefaultPicoContainer.  Namely  
ImplementationHidingPicoContainer, HotSwappablePicoContainer,  
CachingPicoContainer (etc).  In then end they were just convenience  
classes that chose their internal composition.  For example,  
CachingPicoContainer was just a wrapper to DefaultPicoContainer with  
CachingComponentAdapterFactory as the frontmost CAF in the chain of  
CAFs.  new PicoBuilder().withCaching().build() is the builder-esque  
alternative to new DefaultPicoContainer(new CachingBehaviorFactory()).

Note also that ComponentAdapterFactory is now either BehaviorFactory  
or InjectionFactory (making some derivative of AbstractBehavior or  
AbstractInjector respectively).
