  • Method Details

    • matching

      PluginCollection<T> matching(Spec<? super T> spec)
      Returns a collection which contains the objects in this collection which meet the given specification. The returned collection is live, so that when matching objects are added to this collection, they are also visible in the filtered collection.

      This method is an intermediate eager operation. The application of the filter forces the realization of the collection elements.

      Specified by:
      matching in interface DomainObjectCollection<T extends Plugin>
      Specified by:
      matching in interface DomainObjectSet<T extends Plugin>
      Parameters:
      spec - The specification to use.
      Returns:
      The collection of matching objects. Returns an empty collection if there are no such objects in this collection.
    • matching

      PluginCollection<T> matching(Closure closure)
      Returns a collection which contains the objects in this collection which meet the given closure specification. The returned collection is live, so that when matching objects are added to this collection, they are also visible in the filtered collection.

      This method is an intermediate eager operation. The application of the filter forces the realization of the collection elements.

      Specified by:
      matching in interface DomainObjectCollection<T extends Plugin>
      Specified by:
      matching in interface DomainObjectSet<T extends Plugin>
      Parameters:
      closure - The specification to use. The closure gets a collection element as an argument.
      Returns:
      The collection of matching objects. Returns an empty collection if there are no such objects in this collection.
    • withType

      <S extends T> PluginCollection<S> withType(Class<S> type)
      Returns a collection containing the objects in this collection of the given type. The returned collection is live, so that when matching objects are later added to this collection, they are also visible in the filtered collection.

      This method is an intermediate operation. It does not change the realized/unrealized state of the elements in the collection.

      Specified by:
      withType in interface DomainObjectCollection<T extends Plugin>
