- Method Detail
  - isEventInProgress
```
boolean isEventInProgress()
```
    Indicate whether or not an event is in progress. Intended for testing purposes.
  - beginEvent
```
void beginEvent()
```
    Starts a new atomic change to this list change queue.
    This simple change event does not support change events nested within. To allow other methods to nest change events within a change event, use beginEvent(true).
  - beginEvent
```
void beginEvent(boolean allowNestedEvents)
```
    Starts a new atomic change to this list change queue. This signature allows you to specify allowing nested changes. This simply means that you can call other methods that contain a beginEvent(), commitEvent() block and their changes will be recorded but not fired. This allows the creation of list modification methods to call simpler list modification methods while still firing a single ListEvent to listeners.
    
    Parameters:
    
    allowNestedEvents - false to throw an exception if another call to beginEvent() is made before the next call to commitEvent(). Nested events allow multiple method's events to be composed into a single event.

  - elementInserted
```
void elementInserted(int index,
                     E newValue)
```
    Add to the current ListEvent the insert of the element at the specified index, with the specified previous value.
  - elementInserted
```
void elementInserted(int index,
                     java.util.List<E> newValues)
```
    Adds a block of insert events.
  - elementDeleted
```
void elementDeleted(int index,
                    E oldValue)
```
    Add to the current ListEvent the removal of the element at the specified index, with the specified previous value.
  - elementDeleted
```
void elementDeleted(int index,
                    java.util.List<E> oldValues)
```
    Adds a block of removal events
  - elementUpdated
```
void elementUpdated(int index,
                    java.util.List<ObjectChange<E>> changes)
```
    Adds a block of update events
  - elementUpdated
```
void elementUpdated(int index,
                    E oldValue,
                    E newValue)
```
    Add to the current ListEvent the update of the element at the specified index, with the specified previous value.
  - elementUpdated
```
void elementUpdated(int index,
                    java.util.List<E> oldValues,
                    java.util.List<E> newValues)
```
  - elementUpdated
```
void elementUpdated(int index,
                    ObjectChange<E> change)
```
  - addChange
```
void addChange(int type,
               int index,
               ObjectChange<E> event)
```
    Convenience method for appending a single change of the specified type.
  - addChange
```
void addChange(int type,
               int startIndex,
               java.util.List<ObjectChange<E>> changeEvents)
```
    Adds a block of changes to the set of list changes. The change block allows a range of changes to be grouped together for efficiency.
  - reorder
```
void reorder(int[] reorderMap,
             java.util.List<ObjectChange<E>> changes)
```
    Sets the current event as a reordering. Reordering events cannot be combined with other events.
  - forwardEvent
```
void forwardEvent(ListEvent<?> listChanges)
```
    Forwards the event. This is a convenience method that does the following:
    1. beginEvent()
    2. For all changes in sourceEvent, apply those changes to this
    3. commitEvent()
    Note that this method should be preferred to manually forwarding events because it is heavily optimized.
    Note that currently this implementation does a best effort to preserve reorderings. This means that a reordering is lost if it is combined with any other ListEvent.
  - commitEvent
```
void commitEvent()
```
    Commits the current atomic change to this list change queue. This will notify all listeners about the change.
    If the current event is nested within a greater event, this will simply change the nesting level so that further changes are applied directly to the parent change.
  - discardEvent
```
void discardEvent()
```
    Discards the current atomic change to this list change queue. This does not notify any listeners about any changes.
    The caller of this method is responsible for returning the EventList to its state before the event began. If they fail to do so, the EventList pipeline may be in an inconsistent state.
    If the current event is nested within a greater event, this will discard changes at the current nesting level and that further changes are still applied directly to the parent change.
  - isEventEmpty
```
boolean isEventEmpty()
```
    Returns true if the current atomic change to this list change queue is empty; false otherwise.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the current atomic change to this list change queue is empty; false otherwise
  - addListEventListener
```
void addListEventListener(ListEventListener<? super E> listChangeListener)
```
    Registers the specified listener to be notified whenever new changes are appended to this list change sequence.
    For each listener, a ListEvent is created, which provides a read-only view to the list changes in the list. The same ListChangeView object is used for all notifications to the specified listener, so if a listener does not process a set of changes, those changes will persist in the next notification.
    
    Parameters:
    
    listChangeListener - event listener != null
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the specified listener is null
  - removeListEventListener
```
void removeListEventListener(ListEventListener<? super E> listChangeListener)
```
    Removes the specified listener from receiving notification when new changes are appended to this list change sequence.
    This uses the == identity comparison to find the listener instead of equals(). This is because multiple Lists may be listening and therefore equals() may be ambiguous.
    
    Parameters:
    
    listChangeListener - event listener != null
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the specified listener is null
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified listener wasn't added before
  - getListEventListeners
```
java.util.List<ListEventListener<E>> getListEventListeners()
```
    Get all ListEventListeners observing the EventList.
  - getCurrentChanges
```
ListEvent<E> getCurrentChanges()
```
    Returns the uncommited changes of the current event level
    
    Returns:
  - emptyEvent
```
ListEvent<E> emptyEvent()
```
  - newAssembler
```
ListEventAssembler<E> newAssembler()
```
  - createListEventPublisher
```
static ListEventPublisher createListEventPublisher()
```
    Create a new ListEventPublisher for an EventList not attached to any other EventLists.
