At least I'm not going crazy. Perhaps the Javadoc could be made clearer. May I suggest for Collection.predicatedCollection:

* @param collection - the collection to predicate, must not be null. All elements must pass the test in the predicate

and

* @throws IllegalStateException If one of the elements in <code>collection</code> does not pass the predicate test.

K.C.

PredicatedList exists to filter input to a collection by blocking invalid elements. A typical example is to create a LIst that only allows an object of a specific type.

What you want is FilteredList. Unfortunately, that doesn't exist in [collections]. I'd like to add it, but time limits me. If you want to write a version (based on the CVS HEAD code) please feel free.

I tried to use a Predicated List today (ListUtils.predicatedList) and it didn't work the way I expected. What I wanted to do was pass it a list of items and a Predicate such that it would "filter" the list for me and the new list would only contain those items that match the predicate. However, I received an IllegalStateException because items in my list didn't match the Predicate. What is the point of the predicated list if it does this?
