Gary D. Gregory commented on COLLECTIONS-711:
---------------------------------------------
I think we should close this as obsolete since Java can do this for you:
{code}
someCollection.stream().collect(Collectors.toList())
{code}

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Collection, List
> Reporter: David Mollitor
> Priority: Major

> Please take a look at:

> [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/580160/how-to-convert-a-collection-to-list]
>
> Add a utility method to convert a {{Collection}} to a {{List}}, returning the
> argument if it is a {{List}} subclass itself. Make the return type
> Unmodified for consistency.since if the data comes in as a non-List class,
> then a copy is made, so modifying the returned collection would not affect
> the original source, whereas if a {{List}} is passed in, modification to the
> returned List would impact the original source.
