Java 8 Stream of Super Classes, Parent Files, Component Parents, linked list, etc

Question

I would like to convert the following for statement to a Java 8 stream (i.e. Stream>). The ideal solution would be simple eno

Answer 1

You need a takeWhile method which will appear in JDK-9 only. Currently you can use a back-port which is available, for example, in my StreamEx library:

Stream> stream = StreamEx.iterate(value.getClass(), Class::getSuperClass)
                                  .takeWhile(Objects::nonNull);

In JDK-9 just replace StreamEx with Stream.
