Enum Summary

Enum	Description
Immutable	Indicate whether the immutable collection contains a COPY of the collection (neither changeable by the user of the immutable collection, nor by anyone holding a pointer to the original collection), or a WRAP for the original collection (not changeable by the user of the immutable collection, but can be changed by anyone holding a pointer to the original collection that is wrapped).

Package org.djutils.immutablecollections Description

Contains a set of immutable collection interfaces and wrapper implementations. Two versions of immutable collections are implemented:

1. A version, identified by Immutable.COPY, where the immutable collection can neither be changed by any object "using" the ImmutableCollection nor anymore by objects that have a pointer to the collection, as an internal (shallow) copy is made of the collection. This is the default implementation.
2. A version, identified by Immutable.WRAP, where the immutable collection can not be changed by any object "using" the ImmutableCollection, but it can still be changed by any object that has a pointer to the original collection that is "wrapped". Instead of a (shallow) copy of the collection, a pointer to the collection is stored.
