<h3>1. INTRODUCTION</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <em>Collections</em> package contains a set of Java classes that
|
2003-12-29 13:04:36 -05:00
|
|
|
extend or augment the Java Collections Framework. This includes new interfaces
|
|
|
|
|
and new implementations together with supporting utility classes.

|
|
|
|
2003-12-29 13:04:36 -05:00
|
|
|
<p>In addition to the main commons-collections jar, a testframework jar file is also produced.
