Re: TransformedList question

James Lemieux wrote:

Holger has it exactly right. CollectionList is the de facto list to use when
a single source element produces multiple transformed elements. Using
CollectionList is the first half of the solution.

The second half is the TextFilterator which extracts Strings from the Issues
to be considered when filtering any given Issue. That TextFilterator needs
to return all users as Strings in addition to any other Strings you deem
worthy of consideration when filtering your Issues. Again, Holger has
sketched the code well.

I'd urge you to check out our screencasts here:

http://www.publicobject.com/glazedlistsdeveloper/

as they do a good job of introducing each concept separate and apart from
each other. The screencast of FilterList may be particularly useful to you.
