Not sure I understand the bug synopsis in relation to the fix. Sounds 
like FindBugs complained about using a protected static field that was 
set directly via a subclass. Not sure why. So now we have a private 
field that can be set by anyone via a public method. Maybe the 
setInstance method should be protected not public?

But do we really care? Either ways seems fine to me if it silences FindBugs.
