Field Detail

EMPTY_SET

public static final ReferenceSets.EmptySet EMPTY_SET

An empty set (immutable). It is serializable and cloneable.

Method Detail

emptySet

public static <K> ReferenceSet<K> emptySet()

Returns an empty set (immutable). It is serializable and cloneable.

This method provides a typesafe access to EMPTY_SET.

Returns:

an empty set (immutable).

singleton

public static <K> ReferenceSet<K> singleton(K element)

Returns a type-specific immutable set containing only the specified element. The returned set is serializable and cloneable.

Parameters:

element - the only element of the returned set.

Returns:

a type-specific immutable set containing just element.

synchronize

public static <K> ReferenceSet<K> synchronize(ReferenceSet<K> s)

Returns a synchronized type-specific set backed by the given type-specific set.

Parameters:

s - the set to be wrapped in a synchronized set.

Returns:

a synchronized view of the specified set.

synchronize

public static <K> ReferenceSet<K> synchronize(ReferenceSet<K> s,
                                              java.lang.Object sync)

Returns a synchronized type-specific set backed by the given type-specific set, using an assigned object to synchronize.

Parameters:

s - the set to be wrapped in a synchronized set.

sync - an object that will be used to synchronize the access to the set.

Returns:

a synchronized view of the specified set.

unmodifiable

public static <K> ReferenceSet<K> unmodifiable(ReferenceSet<K> s)

Returns an unmodifiable type-specific set backed by the given type-specific set.

Parameters:

s - the set to be wrapped in an unmodifiable set.

Returns:

an unmodifiable view of the specified set.
