public EnumerationIterator(java.util.Enumeration enumeration,
                           java.util.Collection collection)

Constructs a new EnumerationIterator that will remove elements from the specified collection.

Parameters:

enumeration - the enumeration to use

collection - the collection to remove elements form

Method Detail

hasNext

public boolean hasNext()

Returns true if the underlying enumeration has more elements.
