- java.lang.Object
- - java.util.AbstractCollection<E>
  - - java.util.AbstractSet<E>
    - - org.apache.commons.collections4.SetUtils.SetView<E>

- Type Parameters:
    `E` - the element type
  All Implemented Interfaces:
    Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, Set<E>
  Enclosing class:
    SetUtils

      public abstract static class SetUtils.SetView<E>
      extends AbstractSet<E>

  An unmodifiable view of a set that may be backed by other sets.

  If the decorated sets change, this view will change as well. The contents of this view can be transferred to another instance via the `copyInto(Set)` and `toSet()` methods.
