list - the list of RPLObjects used to create the RPLList

Returns:

the created RPLList

createConstant

public static RPLParameter createConstant(java.lang.String name,
                                          RPLObject val)

Creates a constant RPLParameter from the specified name and having the specified value.

Parameters:

name - the name of the parameter

val - an RPLObject representing the value of the constant.

Returns:

createParameter

public static RPLParameter createParameter(java.lang.String name,
