Can you possibly find a way that this can be used in a garbage free manner?  Providing a MutableInstant interface that allows the Instant object to be provided and have its values set by a currentInstant(MutableInstant instant) method would solve the problem nicely for Log4j - or any other app that is trying to avoid allocating new objects.
