https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse-collections/eclipse-collections: Eclipse Collections is a collections framework for Java. It has JDK-compatible List, Set and Map implementations with a rich API and set of utility classes that work with any JDK compatible Collections, Arrays, Maps or Strings. The iteration protocol was inspired by the Smalltalk collection framework.

This class should be used to create instances of MutableList, ImmutableList and FixedSizeList


Mutable Examples:

MutableList<String> emptyList = Lists.mutable.empty();
MutableList<String> listWith = Lists.mutable.with("a", "b", "c");
MutableList<String> listOf = Lists.mutable.of("a", "b", "c");


Immutable Examples:

ImmutableList<String> emptyList = Lists.immutable.empty();
ImmutableList<String> listWith = Lists.immutable.with("a", "b", "c");
ImmutableList<String> listOf = Lists.immutable.of("a", "b", "c");


FixedSize Examples:

FixedSizeList<String> emptyList = Lists.fixedSize.empty();
FixedSizeList<String> listWith = Lists.fixedSize.with("a", "b", "c");
FixedSizeList<String> listOf = Lists.fixedSize.of("a", "b", "c");
