Thomas Neidhart commented on COLLECTIONS-322:
---------------------------------------------
Ok thanks, javadoc has been corrected, and I also added since tags.
We may also add explicit IteratorUtils.asIterable methods for convenience as
you proposed.
I wanted to keep the generic way:
* add static factory method to create a specific iterator (over NodeList)
* use generic asIterable(Iterator) to create the actual Iterable object
Of course, this means you have to type more, but would this be acceptable?

> org.w3c.dom.NodeList is defined as an "abstract collection of Nodes" and
> java.util.List is defined as "An ordered collection (also known as a
> sequence). The user of this interface has precise control over where in the
> list each element is inserted. The user can access elements by their integer
> index (position in the list), and search for elements in the list.". It
> seemed similar enough, so I did an implementation of the useful methods,
> while throwing the appropriate exception when the method wouldn't make sense.
