Re: [stellation-res] Collection utility methods

Jonathan,
+1.
Sounds useful, and not harmful.

In org.eclipse.stellation.util there are a number of Collection class
wrappers including FileList, IntegerList, IntegerSet, StringList and
StringSet. At the moment, none of these wrapper classes has the ability to
handle a raw array in a constructor or add() method. I realize that the
underlying Java classes do not do this but the operations are type-safe and
would provide a useful bridge between low level Java API's and type-safe
collections.
For exanple, the Java File.listFiles() method returns File[] and it would be
useful to be able to move this into a resizable collection. There are many
similar situations in the low level Java API's.
Any thoughts on this? If you think this is a good idea, I would be prepared
to do this immediately since I have immediate need for this facility.
