Class NrwList

java.lang.Object

org.openpatch.scratch.internal.NrwList

public final class NrwList
extends Object

Builds a List of the kind the NRW Zentralabitur hands out.

Those classes live in the default package of the student's project, where a library cannot name them. So the class is looked up by name when it is needed, through the class loader of the student's own classes, and filled through its append method. The caller hands the result back with a type the compiler infers from the assignment, which is how List<Gegner> gegner = find(Gegner.class) compiles in the NRW build.
