  • but my 2nd example is not a static factory. It's just a top level class that provides dependencies to other classes. Nothing static there :/ Commented Mar 19, 2015 at 15:54
  • Did you read my answer on that former question? Should apply to your case perfectly. Commented Mar 19, 2015 at 15:58
  • ok i guess groping certain dependencies in another class could be the 3rd example. I'm only asking why ppl bloat their constructor with 20 arguments when they can just pass some kind of "application" object to the constructor that provides all the required stuff. I get the "because it hides the dependencies" reason. But is that worth the extra bloat and complexity? Any other reasons, preferably good? Commented Mar 19, 2015 at 16:05
