A List from Iterator

[Jason Mehrens]

Pavel,



The stated reason is to discourage use of a 'poor man's collection'.  See Java Collections API Design FAQ (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/collections/designfaq.html) under the 'Collection Interface' section.

> Is there any particular reason why there's no convenience method for iterators similar to j.u.Collections.list for enumerations? Or at least the one that adapts Iterator to Enumeration and vice versa. Thanks.
