Class Conversions

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.lib.Conversions

public class Conversions
extends java.lang.Object

This is a library used to convert arrays to lists and vice versa in a way that keeps the identity of the to-be-converted object. That is, changes in the array will be reflected by the list and changes to the list will be reflected by the array for both kinds of conversion. The utilities in this class should only be used by the Xbase compiler.
