Java集合(4)：未获支持的操作及UnsupportedOperationException

执行各种添加和移除的方法在Collection中都是可选操作的，这意味着实现类并不需要为这些方法提供实现。当我们调用这些方法时，将不会执行有意义的行为，而是通常抛出UnsupportedOperationException。

下面例子我们可以看出Collection的各种实现类中：

(1) java.util.ArrayList实现了所有Collection接口。

(2) java.util.Arrays.ArrayList不支持对对象的add，remove，clear，但是支持set修改元素值。这是因为Arrays.asList返回固定尺寸的List。

(3) java.util.Collections.UnmodifiableList产生的是read-only的List，所以不能做任何修改。

 import java.util.Arrays;

 import java.util.Collections;
 import java.util.List;

     static void test(String msg, List<String> list) {
         System.out.println("--- " + msg + " ---");
         Collection<String> c = list;
         Collection<String> subList = list.subList(1, 8);
         Collection<String> c2 = new ArrayList<String>(subList);
         try {
             c.retainAll(c2);
             System.out.println("retainAll(): SUCCESS!");
         } catch (Exception e) {
             System.out.println("retainAll(): " + e);
         }
         try {
             c.removeAll(c2);
             System.out.println("removeAll(): SUCCESS!");
         } catch (Exception e) {
             System.out.println("removeAll(): " + e);
