## Class WeakList<E>

- java.lang.Object
- - java.util.AbstractCollection<E>
  - - java.util.AbstractList<E>
    - - net.sourceforge.jnlp.util.WeakList<E>

- Type Parameters:
    `E` - generic typeto be used in this list
  All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Iterable<E>, java.util.Collection<E>, java.util.List<E>

      public class WeakList<E>
      extends java.util.AbstractList<E>

  This list stores objects automatically using weak references. Objects are added and removed from the list as normal, but may turn to null at any point (ie, indexOf(x) followed by get(x) may return null). The weak references are only removed when the trimToSize method is called so that the indices remain constant otherwise.

    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `void` | `add(int index, E element)` Inserts the object at the specified position in the list.
    `E` | `get(int index)`
    `java.util.List<E>` | `hardList()`
    `E` | `remove(int index)` Removes the object at the specified position and returns it or returns null if it was already collected.
    `E` | `set(int index, E element)` Sets the object at the specified position and returns the previous object at that position or null if it was already collected.
    `int` | `size()`
    `void` | `trimToSize()` Compacts the list by removing references to collected objects.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### WeakList

          public WeakList()

      Create a weak random-access list.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### get

          public E get(int index)

      Specified by:
        `get` in interface `java.util.List<E>`
      Specified by:
        `get` in class `java.util.AbstractList<E>`
      Parameters:
        `index` - of field to get
      Returns:
        the object at the specified index, or null if the object has been collected.

    - #### size

          public int size()

      Specified by:
        `size` in interface `java.util.Collection<E>`
      Specified by:
        `size` in interface `java.util.List<E>`
      Specified by:
        `size` in class `java.util.AbstractCollection<E>`
      Returns:
        the size of the list, including already collected objects.

    - #### set

          public E set(int index,
              E element)

      Sets the object at the specified position and returns the previous object at that position or null if it was already collected.
      Specified by:
        `set` in interface `java.util.List<E>`
      Overrides:
        `set` in class `java.util.AbstractList<E>`
      Parameters:
        `index` - position where to place element
        `element` - data which to put on position
      Returns:
        previous object on that position

    - #### add

          public void add(int index,
                 E element)

      Inserts the object at the specified position in the list. Automatically creates a weak reference to the object.
      Specified by:
        `add` in interface `java.util.List<E>`
      Overrides:
        `add` in class `java.util.AbstractList<E>`
      Parameters:
        `index` - position where to insert element
        `element` - data which to put on position

    - #### remove

          public E remove(int index)

      Removes the object at the specified position and returns it or returns null if it was already collected.
      Specified by:
        `remove` in interface `java.util.List<E>`
      Overrides:
        `remove` in class `java.util.AbstractList<E>`
      Parameters:
        `index` - of element to be removed
      Returns:
        previous object on that position

    - #### hardList

          public java.util.List<E> hardList()

      Returns:
        a list of hard references to the objects. The returned list does not include the collected elements, so its indices do not necessarily correlate with those of this list.

    - #### trimToSize

          public void trimToSize()

      Compacts the list by removing references to collected objects.
