public abstract class CollectionEvent
extends ChangeEvent

A "collection" event gets delivered whenever a model changes a "bound" or "constrained" collection. A CollectionEvent is sent as an argument to the CollectionChangeListener. The intent is that any listener can keep itself synchronized with the model's collection via the collection events it receives and need not maintain a reference to the original collection.

Provisional API: This class is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.
