+Objenesis is a small Java library that serves one purpose: to instantiate
+a new object of a particular class.
+Java supports dynamic instantiation of classes using Class.newInstance();
+however, this only works if the class has an appropriate constructor. There
are many times when a class cannot be instantiated this way, such as when
-the class contains:
-* Constructors that require arguments.
-* Constructors that have side effects.
-* Constructors that throw exceptions.
-As a result, it is common to see restrictions in libraries stating that
-classes must require a default constructor. Objenesis aims to overcome these
-restrictions by bypassing the constructor on object instantiation.
-Needing to instantiate an object without calling the constructor is a fairly
-specialized task, however there are certain cases when this is useful:
