Why am I not getting a java.util.ConcurrentModificationException in this example?

Question

Note: I am aware of the Iterator#remove() method.

In the following code sample, I don\'t understand why the List.remove in main

Answer 1

One way to handle it it to remove something from a copy of a Collection (not Collection itself), if applicable. Clone the original collection it to make a copy via a Constructor.

This exception may be thrown by methods that have detected concurrent modification of an object when such modification is not permissible.

For your specific case, first off, i don't think final is a way to go considering you intend to modify the list past declaration

private static final List integerList;

Also consider modifying a copy instead of the original list.

List copy = new ArrayList(integerList);

for(Integer integer : integerList) {
    if(integer.equals(remove)) {                
        copy.remove(integer);
    }
}
