Hello,

Like the title says in EMF 2.7.0 ECollections.singletonEList() returns a List<T>. I wondered about this, because every other method in this class returns an EList or EMap.

Is this just a bug or is there a reason why this method returns a normal List?

Here is a link to the 2.7.0 Javadoc:

Lars,

Sorry, it was a dumb mistake. I changed it in 2.8.
