-------------------------------

             Summary: Add a static utility to transform JCR Iterators into 
Iterables
                 Key: JCR-3555
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-3555
             Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: jackrabbit-jcr-commons
    Affects Versions: 2.6
            Reporter: Lukas Eder
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: Iterators.java.patch

I have stumbled upon the utility classes in the 
org.apache.jackrabbit.commons.iterator package. They're quite useful in 
principle, but not applied thoroughly. E.g. there are missing wrapper types for 
at least these JCR Iterators:

- AccessControlPolicyIterator
- EventIterator
- EventListenerIterator
- NodeTypeIterator
- VersionIterator

Instead of adding more classes, it might be useful to create static methods for 
the job. Using static methods from a single class (with static imports) is a 
bit more convenient than looking up and creating the wrapper types using "new 
WrapperType(...)"

An example:

org.apache.jackrabbit.commons.iterator.Iterators.iterable

// And then:
for (Node n : iterable(parent.getNodes())) {
  // Do stuff with n
}

Please find attached a .patch file containing an implementation suggestion.
