Decorates a List to ensure that no duplicates are present much like a Set.

The List interface makes certain assumptions/requirements. This implementation breaks these in certain ways, but this is merely the result of rejecting duplicates. Each violation is explained in the method, but it should not affect you. Bear in mind that Sets require immutable objects to function correctly.

The ListOrderedSet class provides an alternative approach, by wrapping an existing Set and retaining insertion order in the iterator.

This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.

Since:3.0

Factory method to create a SetList using the supplied list to retain order.

If the list contains duplicates, these are removed (first indexed one kept). A HashSet is used for the set behaviour.

Type parameters:
  • <E> – the element type
Throws:
Returns:a new SetUniqueList

Adds an element to the list if it is not already present.

Sets the value at the specified index avoiding duplicates.

The object is set into the specified index. Afterwards, any previous duplicate is removed. If the object is not already in the list then a normal set occurs. If it is present, then the old version is removed.
