I'm wondering, why there are those get... methods at all.

Alternatively you could make the appropriate constructors and predifined static variants public. So 
one only should use:
Base64.Encoder encoder = new Base64.Encoder(...);
Base64.Encoder urlEncoder = Base64.Encoder.RFC4648_URLSAFE;

No need for those looong method names.
