SequencedHashMap is the consequence of moving sandbox/util/SequencedHashtable into collections. So there is no reason to add SequencedHashtable again (this time as is.) I think what ought to be done is to fix the javadoc in both classes.
Remove the "This class is thread-safe" declaration in SequencedHashMap. Add some text to SequencedHashtable to the affect of what Michael states below and deprecate it. john mcnally "Michael A.
