IStructuredSelection not Iterable [message #630040]

Hi,

I was doing some work with selections today when I was wondering why the
IStructuredSelection interface does not extend the Iterable interface
since it already contains the iterator() method.

It would be much more handy to use it an a foreach loop:

IStructuredSelection selection = page.getSelection();
for (Object element : selection) {
// do stuff with each element
}

I know I could use the toList() or toArray() methods but why use those
conversions if there would be an easier/more readable way.

Regards,
Christian

We can't because Iterable is Java 5
