 Thanks for checking!

 > For a boolean return value I'd expect "is*" and not "get*", i.e.,
 `isSharedRandParticipate` instead of`getSharedRandParticipate`.

 Changed.

 why not have the `this.* = ParseHelper.parseProtocolVersions(line, line,
 parts);` lines in the switch stmt w/o the method calls?

 I'm not sure.  I think the switch statement is more readable if we just
 make one simple method call per line and move the parsing logic to
 separate methods.  And what if this parsing logic ever gets more
 complicated and requires another line; would we have to move that logic to
 a new method then?  Let's just stick to the current scheme if you don't
 mind.
