What are the advantages of using a build service vs a static instance?

Build service is scoped to once execution of one build

Static state survives in the daemon JVM and can even influence builds of totally different projects run in the same daemon

This caused many serious problems with Spotbugs which used to be called in-process, and heavily overuses static state.

So in short, never use static state, but at most for constant values.
