  • Bag interface for collections that have a number of copies of each object
  • BidiMap interface for maps that can be looked up from value to key as well and key to value
  • MapIterator interface to provide simple and quick iteration over maps
  • Transforming decorators that alter each object as it is added to the collection
  • Composite collections that make multiple collections look like one
  • Ordered maps and sets that retain the order elements are added in, including an LRU based map
  • Reference map that allows keys and/or values to be garbage collected under close control
  • Many comparator implementations
