/** * This class represents an observable object, or "data"
* in the model-view paradigm. It can be subclassed to represent an
* object that the application wants to have observed.
* <p>
* An observable object can have one or more observers. An observer
* may be any object that implements interface <tt>Observer</tt>. After an
* observable instance changes, an application calling the
* <code>Observable</code>'s <code>notifyObservers</code> method
* causes all of its observers to be notified of the change by a call
* to their <code>update</code> method.
* <p>
* The order in which notifications will be delivered is unspecified.
* The default implementation provided in the Observable class will
* notify Observers in the order in which they registered interest, but
* subclasses may change this order, use no guaranteed order, deliver
* notifications on separate threads, or may guarantee that their
* subclass follows this order, as they choose.
* <p>
* Note that this notification mechanism has nothing to do with threads
* and is completely separate from the <tt>wait</tt> and <tt>notify</tt>
* mechanism of class <tt>Object</tt>.
* <p>
* When an observable object is newly created, its set of observers is
* empty. Two observers are considered the same if and only if the
* <tt>equals</tt> method returns true for them.

源码简析：
-
此类中使用vector集合，这个集合应该是被废弃的，因为这个集合是一个多线程安全的集合，为了线程安全，使用了时间换空间的策略，所以时间很慢，再加上对元素的增删速度慢，成为弃婴。
-
vector的优点：
-
线程同步
-
数组是数组长度可变（当数组动态扩容需要消耗不少时间，影响性能）
-
特有的方法：
void addElement(E obj) 在集合末尾添加元素
E elementAt( int index) 返回指定角标的元素
Enumeration elements() 返回集合中的所有元素，封装到Enumeration对象中测试此枚举是否包含更多的元素。
E nextElement() 如果此枚举对象至少还有一个可提供的元素，则返回此枚举的下一个元素。
Enumeration 接口： boolean hasMoreElements()
-
-
此类中添加了一个changed的布尔标识，用来发现被观察者的信息是否变化
-
在注册/移除观察者时，添加了synchronized锁，防止其他线程执行里面的代码造成数据不安全
-
改变类变量的方法好像他都锁了一下
-
在执行notifyObserver（object o）方法时，判断了一下changed，false就直接返回，不做更新操作；true的话就将changed重置为false，然后将更新的信息发给每一个观察者
java内置的Observerable的缺点
-
它使用的是类定义而不是接口定义，这样会使得这个类减少复用机会，而且不容易扩展
-
它违背了“设计应该多使用组合，少使用继承”的设计原则，比如在方法中添加了protest关键字，使得只用继承此类的类才能使用此方法。
除了util包外，在swings包和javabeans包也体现了observer模式。其实mvc模式也是观察者模式的代表。
em...... 大致就这些东西.
