ArrayList.removeRange()

YoungWinstonFeb 24 2011 — edited Feb 24 2011
Very quick question. Does anyone know why ArrayList.removeRange() is protected? I've checked the documentation and the source, and I don't see any potential gotchas, either documented or in the code (which seems very straightforward).

It's no big deal, but it does seem mildly annoying to have to extend the class in order to make use of such a nice method.

Oops. Meant to put this in 'Java Programming'. My apologies, moderators; feel free to move if you see fit.
