| <BODY> |
| <p> |
| This package contains implementations of the |
| {@link java.util.Set Set} and |
| {@link java.util.SortedSet SortedSet} interfaces. |
| <p> |
| The implementations are in the form of direct implementations and decorators. |
| A decorator wraps another implementation of the interface to add some |
| specific additional functionality. |
| <p> |
| The following implementations are provided in the package: |
| <ul> |
| <li>CompositeSet - a set that combines multiple sets into one |
| </ul> |
| The following decorators are provided in the package: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Synchronized - synchronizes method access for multi-threaded environments |
| <li>Unmodifiable - ensures the collection cannot be altered |
| <li>Predicated - ensures that only elements that are valid according to a predicate can be added |
| <li>Typed - ensures that only elements that are of a specific type can be added |
| <li>Transformed - transforms each element added |
| <li>ListOrdered - ensures that insertion order is retained |
| <li>MapBackedSet - a set formed by decorating a Map |
| </ul> |
| </pre> |
