public interface IObservableCollection<E>
extends IObservable, java.util.Collection<E>

Interface for observable collections. Only general change listeners can be added to an observable collection. Listeners interested in incremental changes have to be added using more concrete subtypes such as IObservableList or IObservableSet.

Since:

1.0

Restriction:

This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients. Clients should instead subclass one of the classes that implement this interface. Note that direct implementers of this interface outside of the framework will be broken in future releases when methods are added to this interface.

Restriction:

This interface is not intended to be extended by clients.
