ExporterFactoryImpl, ImageExporterFactory, RendererAdapterFactory

public interface IExporterFactory

Produces the Exporter instances. Must be equal only to factory with same class. hashCode() must be implemented correctly aswell, to reflect this behaviour. It must be instantiable using the zero-argument public constructor.
