Interface Summary

Interface	Description
Bag<E>	Defines a collection that counts the number of times an object appears in the collection.
BidiMap<K,V>	Defines a map that allows bidirectional lookup between key and values.
BoundedCollection<E>	Defines a collection that is bounded in size.
BoundedMap<K,V>	Defines a map that is bounded in size.
Closure<T>	Defines a functor interface implemented by classes that do something.
Equator<T>	An equation function, which determines equality between objects of type T.
Factory<T>	Defines a functor interface implemented by classes that create objects.
Get<K,V>	The "read" subset of the Map interface.
IterableGet<K,V>	The "read" subset of the Map interface.
IterableMap<K,V>	Defines a map that can be iterated directly without needing to create an entry set.
IterableSortedMap<K,V>	SortedMap + OrderedMap.
KeyValue<K,V>	Defines a simple key value pair.
ListValuedMap<K,V>	Defines a map that holds a list of values against each key.
MapIterator<K,V>	Defines an iterator that operates over a Map.
MultiMap<K,V>	Deprecated since 4.1, use MultiValuedMap instead
MultiSet<E>	Defines a collection that counts the number of times an object appears in the collection.
MultiSet.Entry<E>	An unmodifiable entry for an element and its occurrence as contained in a MultiSet.
MultiValuedMap<K,V>	Defines a map that holds a collection of values against each key.
OrderedBidiMap<K,V>	Defines a map that allows bidirectional lookup between key and values and retains and provides access to an ordering.
OrderedIterator<E>	Defines an iterator that operates over an ordered container.
OrderedMap<K,V>	Defines a map that maintains order and allows both forward and backward iteration through that order.
OrderedMapIterator<K,V>	Defines an iterator that operates over an ordered Map.
Predicate<T>	Defines a functor interface implemented by classes that perform a predicate test on an object.
Put<K,V>	The "write" subset of the Map interface.
ResettableIterator<E>	Defines an iterator that can be reset back to an initial state.
ResettableListIterator<E>	Defines a list iterator that can be reset back to an initial state.
SetValuedMap<K,V>	Defines a map that holds a set of values against each key.
SortedBag<E>	Defines a type of Bag that maintains a sorted order among its unique representative members.
SortedBidiMap<K,V>	Defines a map that allows bidirectional lookup between key and values and retains both keys and values in sorted order.
Transformer<I,O>	Defines a functor interface implemented by classes that transform one object into another.
Trie<K,V>	Defines the interface for a prefix tree, an ordered tree data structure.
Unmodifiable	Marker interface for collections, maps and iterators that are unmodifiable.
