Interface ModifiableObjectSet

All Superinterfaces:

ObjectContainer, ObjectSet

All Known Implementing Classes:

BasicModifiableObjectSet

public interface ModifiableObjectSet

extends ObjectSet

An ObjectSet with mutation methods. Most applications can use the BasicModifiableObjectSet implementation.

This interface itself does not specify thread-safety semantics. The particular implementation or use in a larger interface should specify this. For example, standalone ObjectSets may be fully synchronized and thread-safe. ObjectSets related to AWT or Swing objects may require that all interaction be done on the AWT event thread.

Method Summary

boolean	removeObject(Object obj) Remove an object from the set
