## 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.
