Java Adapter Pattern at Wikipedia

[markspace]

I started a little work on the Java example of the Adapter pattern at
Wikipedia, because the original article seemed rather messy.

Would anyone else like to contribute? There seems to be a bit of an
impasse, so without some consensus I don't think I'll forge ahead.

I started a little work on the Java example of the Adapter pattern at
Wikipedia, because the original article seemed rather messy.

Would anyone else like to contribute? There seems to be a bit of an
impasse, so without some consensus I don't think I'll forge ahead.

A shorter example has merit, but your point about the need for main() is
cogent. Perhaps you could expand the LinkedListAdaptor slightly.

Your code is typically exemplary; I'd say forge ahead. If you get push
back, you can always link to <http://www.techdarwinia.com> or start a
"Design Patterns" topic <http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Java>.

The Python examples are perhaps too spartan.
