Is there a no-duplicate List implementation out there?

Question

I know about SortedSet, but in my case I need something that implements List, and not Set. So is there an implementation out there, in the API or e

Answer 1

I just made my own UniqueList in my own little library like this:

package com.bprog.collections;//my own little set of useful utilities and classes

import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
/**
*
* @author Jonathan
*/
public class UniqueList {

private HashSet masterSet = new HashSet();
private ArrayList growableUniques;
private Object[] returnable;

public UniqueList() {
    growableUniques = new ArrayList();
}

public UniqueList(int size) {
    growableUniques = new ArrayList(size);
}

public void add(Object thing) {
    if (!masterSet.contains(thing)) {
        masterSet.add(thing);
        growableUniques.add(thing);
    }
}

/**
 * Casts to an ArrayList of unique values
 * @return 
 */
public List getList(){
    return growableUniques;
}

public Object get(int index) {
    return growableUniques.get(index);
}

public Object[] toObjectArray() {
    int size = growableUniques.size();
    returnable = new Object[size];
    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
        returnable[i] = growableUniques.get(i);
    }
    return returnable;
    }
}

I have a TestCollections class that looks like this:

package com.bprog.collections;
import com.bprog.out.Out;
/**
*
* @author Jonathan
*/
public class TestCollections {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        UniqueList ul = new UniqueList();
        ul.add("Test");
        ul.add("Test");
        ul.add("Not a copy");
        ul.add("Test"); 
        //should only contain two things
        Object[] content = ul.toObjectArray();
        Out.pl("Array Content",content);
    }
}

Works fine. All it does is it adds to a set if it does not have it already and there's an Arraylist that is returnable, as well as an object array.
