Class DoubleEnumeration<T>

Implemented Interfaces:
Enumeration<E>

public class DoubleEnumeration<T>
extends Object
implements Enumeration<E>

This is a helper class that combines two Enumerations. It returns the elements of the first Enumeration until it has no more elements and then returns the elements of the second Enumeration.
In the default case:
 doubleEnum = new DoubleEnumeration(enum1, enum2);
 while (doubleEnum.hasMoreElements()) {
    Object o = doubleEnum.nextElement();
    do_something(o);
 }
 
it calls hasMoreElements of the Enumerations as few times as possible. The references to the Enumerations are cleared as soon as they have no more elements to help garbage collecting.
