Apache Commons Collections =================== [](https://github.com/apache/commons-collections/actions/workflows/maven.yml) [](https://app.codecov.io/gh/apache/commons-collections) [](https://maven-badges.herokuapp.com/maven-central/org.apache.commons/commons-collections4/?gav=true) [](https://javadoc.io/doc/org.apache.commons/commons-collections4/4.5.0-M1) [](https://github.com/apache/commons-collections/actions/workflows/codeql-analysis.yml) [](https://api.securityscorecards.dev/projects/github.com/apache/commons-collections) The Apache Commons Collections package contains types that extend and augment the Java Collections Framework. Documentation ------------- More information can be found on the [Apache Commons Collections homepage](https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-collections). The [Javadoc](https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-collections/apidocs) can be browsed. Questions related to the usage of Apache Commons Collections should be posted to the [user mailing list](https://commons.apache.org/mail-lists.html). Getting the latest release -------------------------- You can download source and binaries from our [download page](https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-collections/download_collections.cgi). Alternatively, you can pull it from the central Maven repositories: ```xml org.apache.commons commons-collections4 4.5.0-M1 ``` Building -------- Building requires a Java JDK and [Apache Maven](https://maven.apache.org/). The required Java version is found in the `pom.xml` as the `maven.compiler.source` property. From a command shell, run `mvn` without arguments to invoke the default Maven goal to run all tests and checks. Contributing ------------ We accept Pull Requests via GitHub. The [developer mailing list](https://commons.apache.org/mail-lists.html) is the main channel of communication for contributors. There are some guidelines which will make applying PRs easier for us: + No tabs! Please use spaces for indentation. + Respect the existing code style for each file. + Create minimal diffs - disable on save actions like reformat source code or organize imports. If you feel the source code should be reformatted create a separate PR for this change. + Provide JUnit tests for your changes and make sure your changes don't break any existing tests by running ```mvn```. If you plan to contribute on a regular basis, please consider filing a [contributor license agreement](https://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas).
