Deprecated.
Apache Commons Collections version 3.x is being deprecated from AEMaaCS. The upgraded version 4.4 of Commons Collections is already included as replacement. Customers are advised to upgrade to this version of the library. Please note: the package name was changed to org.apache.commons.collections4. Further note that there are AEM APIs currently exposing the old collections classes; these will be updated in upcoming releases.
Decorates another Set to ensure that the order of addition is retained and used by the iterator.

If an object is added to the set for a second time, it will remain in the original position in the iteration. The order can be observed from the set via the iterator or toArray methods.

The ListOrderedSet also has various useful direct methods. These include many from List, such as get(int), remove(int) and indexOf(int). An unmodifiable List view of the set can be obtained via asList().

This class cannot implement the List interface directly as various interface methods (notably equals/hashCode) are incompatable with a set.

This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.

Since:
Commons Collections 3.0
