<h3>1. INTRODUCTION</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <em>Collections</em> package contains a set of Java classes that
|
|
|
|
|
extend or augment the Java Collections Framework.
|
|
|
|
|
The following classes are included:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>ArrayEnumeration</strong> - a java.util.Enumeration wrapper for arrays.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>ArrayIterator</strong> - a java.util.Iterator wrapper for arrays.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>ArrayStack</strong> - An implementation of the java.util.Stack API
|
|
|
|
|
that is based on an ArrayList instead of a Vector, so it is not synchronized to
|
|
|
|
|
protect against multi-threaded access.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>BeanMap</strong> - An implementation of the java.util.Map API
|
|
|
|
|
that is based on a JavaBean using introspection. The property names are the
|
|
|
|
|
keys of the map and the property values are the values of the map.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>CollectionUtils</strong> - a variety of helper methods
|
|
|
|
|
for working with collections.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>CursorableLinkedList</strong> - an implementation of the java.util.List
|
|
|
|
|
interface supporting a java.util.ListIterator that allows concurrent
|
|
|
|
|
modifications to the underlying list.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>ExtendedProperties</strong> - extends normal Java properties by adding
|
|
|
|
|
the possibility to use the same key many times, concatenating the value strings
|
|
|
|
|
instead of overwriting them.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>FastArrayList</strong> - a custom implementation of java.util.ArrayList
|
|
|
|
|
designed to operate in a multithreaded environment where the large majority of
|
|
|
|
|
method calls are read-only, instead of structural changes.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>FastHashMap</strong> - a custom implementation of java.util.HashMap
|
|
|
|
|
designed to operate in a multithreaded environment where the large majority of
|
|
|
|
|
method calls are read-only, instead of structural changes.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>FastTreeMap</strong> - a custom implementation of java.util.TreeMap
|
|
|
|
|
designed to operate in a multithreaded environment where the large majority of
|
|
|
|
|
method calls are read-only, instead of structural changes.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>ListUtils</strong> - miscelaneous utilities to manipulate Lists.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>PriorityQueue</strong> - a PriorityQueue interface, with
|
|
|
|
|
<strong>BinaryHeap</strong> and <strong>SynchronizedPriorityQueue</strong>
|
|
|
|
|
implementations.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>

|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|

<li><a href="http://www.junit.org">JUnit Testing Framework</a>
|
2001-07-14 19:43:11 -04:00
|
|
|
(Version 3.7 or later) - for unit tests only, not required
