> The following method is named "toList" that seems like to convert one object to a list, but the method just returns a list of FeatureStructure objects, so that the method name "getList" should be more clear than "toList".
> {code:java}
>  /**
>    * Retrieves a list of {@link FeatureStructure} objects.
>    *
>    * @return all selected {@link FeatureStructure} objects
>    */
>   public List<FeatureStructure> toList() {
>     return mFeatureStructures;
>   }
> {code}
