It is one of possible solutions. 
Also we have a following javadoc:



    /**
     * Constructs an InputContext.
     * This method is protected so clients cannot instantiate
     * InputContext directly. Input contexts are obtained by
     * calling {@link #getInstance}.
     */
    protected InputContext() {

So those validation of the parameters enforcements will be an almost dead code, only used by synthetic specification test.

Another solution is to make this class abstract.
