public abstract class AbstractObjectList<K> extends AbstractObjectCollection<K> implements ObjectList<K>, Stack<K>
An abstract class providing basic methods for lists implementing a type-specific list interface.

As an additional bonus, this class implements on top of the list operations a type-specific stack.

Most of the methods in this class are optimized with the assumption that the List will have have constant-time random access. If this is not the case, you should probably at least override listIterator(int) and the xAll() methods (such as addAll(int, java.util.Collection<? extends K>)) with a more appropriate iteration scheme. Note the subList(int, int) method is cognizant of random-access or not, so that need not be reimplemented.

       ListIterator iter = listIterator(index);
       int i = 0;
       while (i < length) {
              iter.next();
              iter.set(a[offset + i++]);
