Question

I want to know if there is a better way to write the following class

public class Helper
{
    public static boolean isMatch(final Collection<ClassA> customList)
    public static boolean containsProperty(final Collection<ClassA> customList, final String property)
}

The way the method is called is:

Helper.isMatch(customList);

What I would like to do is make the call as:

customList.isMatch();

Any advice would be great.

Answer 1

If you use Guava, you can use, for instance, ForwardingList.

It forwards all default List method to the embedded instance, and you can add your own.
