## Class ObservableList

- java.lang.Object
- - groovy.util.ObservableList

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.lang.Iterable, java.util.Collection, java.util.List

    public class ObservableList
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements java.util.List

List decorator that will trigger PropertyChangeEvents when a value changes.
An optional Closure may be specified and will work as a filter, if it returns true the property will trigger an event (if the value indeed changed), otherwise it won't. The Closure may receive 1 or 2 parameters, the single one being the value, the other one both the key and value, for example:

     // skip all properties whose value is a closure
     def map = new ObservableList( {!(it instanceof Closure)} )
     <p/>
     // skip all properties whose name matches a regex
     def map = new ObservableList( { name, value -> !(name =˜ /[A-Z+]/) } )

The current implementation will trigger specialized events in the following scenarios, you need not register a different listener as those events extend from PropertyChangeEvent

- ObservableList.ElementAddedEvent - a new element is added to the list
- ObservableList.ElementRemovedEvent - an element is removed from the list
- ObservableList.ElementUpdatedEvent - an element changes value (same as regular PropertyChangeEvent)
- ObservableList.ElementClearedEvent - all elements have been removed from the list
- ObservableList.MultiElementAddedEvent - triggered by calling list.addAll()
- ObservableList.MultiElementRemovedEvent - triggered by calling list.removeAll()/list.retainAll()

Bound properties

- `content` - read-only.
- `size` - read-only.
