Motivation
I'm using java-diff-utils to update lists in JPA models from a DTOs. As Hibernate uses proxies and records any removal/add/swap, but has it's problems when using clear/addAll, this is the only option to make patching my lists work.
In older versions i accessed AbstractDelta's
applyTo
directly, but that fell away when it was made hidden in 3075742.Changes
I added a the methods
applyToExisting
and it's oppositerestoreToExisting
toPatch
, to make it possible to update lists in-place and updated JavaDoc accordingly.Minor improvements
I corrected a typo in the method-name
verifyAntApplyTo
->verifyAndApplyTo
