Class ImmutableList.Builder<E>

java.lang.Object

net.tribe7.common.collect.ImmutableCollection.Builder<E>

net.tribe7.common.collect.ImmutableList.Builder<E>

Enclosing class:

ImmutableList<E>

public static final class ImmutableList.Builder<E>
extends ImmutableCollection.Builder<E>

A builder for creating immutable list instances, especially public static final lists ("constant lists"). Example:

   public static final ImmutableList<Color> GOOGLE_COLORS
       = new ImmutableList.Builder<Color>()
           .addAll(WEBSAFE_COLORS)
           .add(new Color(0, 191, 255))
           .build();

Builder instances can be reused; it is safe to call build() multiple times to build multiple lists in series. Each new list contains all the elements of the ones created before it.
