Yeah, interesting. I think "convert" has too much of an implication of the resulting Iterator being independent of the underlying Enumeration, which it isn't. "View" is a good word, but it has to be understood with a specific meaning, e.g., List.subList creates a view of an underlying list. Perhaps "wrapper" would be good because it explains exactly what's going on. I'll mull this over a bit and see if I can come up with something better.

This looks very useful. The javadoc reads well, and I think it is pitched at the right level ( view the Enumeration as an Iterator ). I expected to see ‘view’ or ‘convert’ in the javadoc, but what you have reads fine too.

Hi all, Please review this small API enhancement to add a default method "asIterator()" to Enumeration that converts it into an Iterator. Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~smarks/reviews/8072726/webrev.0/ Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8072726 Thanks, s'marks
