   public static void main(String[] args) {
      ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
      list.add("JavaFx");
      list.add("Java");
      list.add("WebGL");
      list.add("OpenCV");
      System.out.println(list);
      list.set(2, "HBase");
      System.out.println(list);
   }
}
