- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, Set<E>

      public class ListOrderedSet<E>
      extends AbstractSerializableSetDecorator<E>

  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 incompatible with a set.

  This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.
