Standard Interfaces

I've used Java for some time and I keep hearing about interfaces such as Cloneable, Iterable and other X-ables.

I was wondering if there is a list somewhere of all of these and more importantly - which ones do you regularly use day-to-day?

For example, I've read that Cloneable is considered badly written and isn't widely used.

Solution

  • From the API docs:

    AccessibleStreamable
AdapterActivatorOperations
Callable
Cloneable
Closeable
Comparable
Compilable
Destroyable
Externalizable
Flushable
Formattable
Invocable
ItemSelectable
Iterable
JMXAddressable
Joinable
Pageable
Printable
Readable
Referenceable
Refreshable
Runnable
Scrollable
Serializable
StateEditable
Streamable
Transferable
TypeVariable
TypeVariable
VM_TRUNCATABLE

    I use Cloneable, Comparable, Iterable, Runnable and of course Throwable :-)
