Interface Summary |
Collection |
The root interface in the collection hierarchy. |
Comparator |
A comparison function, which imposes a total ordering on some
collection of objects. |
Enumeration |
An object that implements the Enumeration interface generates a
series of elements, one at a time. |
EventListener |
A tagging interface that all event listener interfaces must extend |
Iterator |
An iterator over a collection. |
List |
An ordered collection (also known as a sequence). |
ListIterator |
An iterator for lists that allows the programmer to traverse the
list in either direction and modify the list during iteration. |
Map |
An object that maps keys to values. |
Map.Entry |
A map entry (key-value pair). |
Observer |
A class can implement the Observer interface when it
wants to be informed of changes in observable objects. |
Set |
A collection that contains no duplicate elements. |
SortedMap |
A map that further guarantees that it will be in ascending key order,
sorted according to the natural ordering of its keys (see the
Comparable interface), or by a comparator provided at sorted map
creation time. |
SortedSet |
A set that further guarantees that its iterator will traverse the set in
ascending element order, sorted according to the natural ordering of
its elements (see Comparable), or by a Comparator provided at sorted set
creation time. |
Class Summary |
AbstractCollection |
This class provides a skeletal implementation of the Collection
interface, to minimize the effort required to implement this interface. |
AbstractList |
This class provides a skeletal implementation of the List
interface to minimize the effort required to implement this interface
backed by a "random access" data store (such as an array). |
AbstractMap |
This class provides a skeletal implementation of the Map
interface, to minimize the effort required to implement this interface. |
AbstractSequentialList |
This class provides a skeletal implementation of the List
interface to minimize the effort required to implement this interface
backed by a "sequential access" data store (such as a linked list). |
AbstractSet |
This class provides a skeletal implementation of the Set
interface to minimize the effort required to implement this
interface. |
ArrayList |
Resizable-array implementation of the List interface. |
Arrays |
This class contains various methods for manipulating arrays (such as
sorting and searching). |
BitSet |
This class implements a vector of bits that grows as needed. |
Calendar |
Calendar is an abstract base class for converting between
a Date object and a set of integer fields such as
YEAR , MONTH , DAY , HOUR ,
and so on. |
Collections |
This class consists exclusively of static methods that operate on or return
collections. |
Date |
The class Date represents a specific instant
in time, with millisecond precision. |
Dictionary |
The Dictionary class is the abstract parent of any
class, such as Hashtable , which maps keys to values. |
EventObject |
The Event class is the abstract root class from which all event state
objects shall be derived. |
GregorianCalendar |
GregorianCalendar is a concrete subclass of
Calendar
and provides the standard calendar used by most of the world. |
HashMap |
Hash table based implementation of the Map interface. |
HashSet |
This class implements the Set interface, backed by a hash table
(actually a HashMap instance). |
Hashtable |
This class implements a hashtable, which maps keys to values. |
LinkedList |
Linked list implementation of the List interface. |
ListResourceBundle |
ListResourceBundle is a abstract subclass of
ResourceBundle that manages resources for a locale
in a convenient and easy to use list. |
Locale |
A Locale object represents a specific geographical, political,
or cultural region. |
Observable |
This class represents an observable object, or "data"
in the model-view paradigm. |
Properties |
The Properties class represents a persistent set of
properties. |
PropertyPermission |
This class is for property permissions. |
PropertyResourceBundle |
PropertyResourceBundle is a concrete subclass of
ResourceBundle that manages resources for a locale
using a set of static strings from a property file. |
Random |
An instance of this class is used to generate a stream of
pseudorandom numbers. |
ResourceBundle |
Resource bundles contain locale-specific objects. |
SimpleTimeZone |
SimpleTimeZone is a concrete subclass of TimeZone
that represents a time zone for use with a Gregorian calendar. |
Stack |
The Stack class represents a last-in-first-out
(LIFO) stack of objects. |
StringTokenizer |
The string tokenizer class allows an application to break a
string into tokens. |
TimeZone |
TimeZone represents a time zone offset, and also figures out daylight
savings. |
TreeMap |
Red-Black tree based implementation of the SortedMap interface. |
TreeSet |
This class implements the Set interface, backed by a
TreeMap instance. |
Vector |
The Vector class implements a growable array of
objects. |
WeakHashMap |
A hashtable-based Map implementation with weak keys. |
Contains the collections framework, legacy collection classes, event model,
date and time facilities, internationalization, and miscellaneous utility
classes (a string tokenizer, a random-number generator, and a bit array).
