Type Parameters:

Enclosing interface:
MapChangeListener<K,V>
public abstract static class MapChangeListener.Change<K,V> extends Object
An elementary change done to an ObservableMap. Change contains information about a put or remove operation. Note that put operation might remove an element if there was already a value associated with the same key. In this case wasAdded() and wasRemoved() will both return true.
