Summary: Google Collections Library

Description: 

The Google Collections Library 1.0 is a suite of new
collections and collection-related goodness for Java 5.0,
brought to you by Google.

This library is a natural extension of the Java Collections
Framework you already know and love.

The major new types are:

* BiMap. A Map that guarantees unique values, and supports
  an inverse view.
* Multiset. A Collection that may contain duplicate values
  like a List, yet has order-independent equality like a Set.
  Often used to represent a histogram.
* Multimap. Similar to Map, but may contain duplicate keys.
  Has subtypes SetMultimap and ListMultimap providing more
  specific behavior.

There are also more than a dozen collection implementations,
mostly of the interfaces above, but not all. ReferenceMap,
for example, is a ConcurrentMap implementation which easily
handles any combination of strong, soft or weak keys with
strong, soft or weak values.

Static utility classes include:

* Comparators. Natural order, compound, null-friendly,
  ad-hoc . . .
* Iterators and Iterables. Element-based equality, cycle,
  concat, partition, filter with predicate, transform with
  function . . .
* Lists, Sets and Maps. A plethora of convenient factory
  methods and much more.
* PrimitiveArrays: "boxing"/"unboxing" of primitive arrays

And there's more:

* Forwarding collections
* Constrained collections
* Implementation helpers like AbstractIterator
