The Java Collections Framework provides a set of abstract data type interfaces and implementations that offer both a wealth of useful functionality, and a solid foundation for extending that functionality.
Many Jakarta projects have needs or design criteria that extend beyond the core Collections API, such as introducing new abstract data types (e.g., Avalon's BinaryHeap) or changing the behavior of existing abstract data types (e.g., Struts' FastHashMap).
In keeping with the spirit of the Collections API and of abstract data types in general, these components can and should be shared assets. A Commons package for abstract data types would encourage the development and reuse of a robust set of collections classes. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - src/site/xdoc/proposal.xml [32:49]: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
