Abstract Factory Pattern in Java

Simple Note

(From wiki):

The abstract factory pattern provides a way to encapsulate a group of individual factories that have a common theme without specifying their concrete classes.

(From OODesign)

Offers the interface for creating a family of related object, without explicitly specifying their classes.

Run TestMain.java to test.

A FoodStore  that sells Bread from BreadFactory in odd weeks and sells PASTA from PastaFactory in even weeks.

In my opinion, Abstract Factory Pattern is most likely 'Chained Simple Factory Pattern'.
