Package javax.swing

Class DefaultListModel<E>

java.lang.Object
javax.swing.AbstractListModel<E>
javax.swing.DefaultListModel<E>
Type Parameters:
E - the type of the elements of this model
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, ListModel<E>
public class DefaultListModel<E> extends AbstractListModel<E>
This class loosely implements the java.util.Vector API, in that it implements the 1.1.x version of java.util.Vector, has no collection class support, and notifies the ListDataListeners when changes occur. Presently it delegates to a Vector, in a future release it will be a real Collection implementation.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Since:
1.2
