public class Main {
   public static void main(String[] argv)
   throws Exception {
      List stuff = Arrays.asList(new String[] { "a", "b" });
      List list = new ArrayList(stuff);
      list = Collections.unmodifiableList(list);
      try {
         list.set(0, "new value");
      }
        catch (UnsupportedOperationException e) {
      }
      Set set = new HashSet(stuff);
      set = Collections.unmodifiableSet(set);
      Map map = new HashMap();
      map = Collections.unmodifiableMap(map);
      System.out.println("Collection is read-only now.");
   }
}
 


I was runniong above program from link
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/javaexamples/collection_readonly.htm

How do I prove to myself that callection is read only now. I want to test it.

Any ideas, suggestions, sample code, links, source code highly appreciated. Thanks in advance
