sf-collections-generic - Commons Collections with Generics
- Description:
This is a new version of the popular Jakarta
Commons-Collections project. It features support for Java
1.5 Generics. Generics introduce a whole new level of
usability and type-safety to the Commons-Collections classes.
The functionality of the package is otherwise left unchanged.
Commons-Collections builds on the powerful Java Collections
Framework by providing new collection types and
implementations, including (from the Jakarta site):
* Bag interface for collections that have a number of copies
of each object
* Buffer interface for collections that have a well defined
removal order, like FIFOs
* BidiMap interface for maps that can be looked up from value
to key as well and key to value
* MapIterator interface to provide simple and quick iteration
over maps
* Type checking decorators to ensure that only instances of a
certain type can be added
* Transforming decorators that alter each object as it is
added to the collection
* Composite collections that make multiple collections look
like one
* Ordered maps and sets that retain the order elements are
added in, including an LRU based map
* Identity map that compares objects based on their identity
(==) instead of the equals method
* Reference map that allows keys and/or values to be garbage
collected under close control
* Many comparator implementations
* Many iterator implementations
* Adapter classes from array and enumerations to collections
* Utilities to test or create typical set-theory properties
of collections such as union, intersection, and closure
