I've submitted this patch twice now (once back in mid-November, once a
week ago), but it still has yet to be committed.  The patch is
essentially a complete rewrite of the SequencedHashMap class and fixes
the following problems:

 - Adding and removing from the map is O(n) because the linked list
needs to be traversed to find the object to remove (when adding, the
object needs to be removed so it can be readded at the front as the most
recently used).  There's been recent discussion on the commons list
about a LRU/MRU thing that is implemented using a linked list/hashtable
combination that had similar performance problems.  This class
demonstrates a manner in which the O(n) performance of using the
LinkedList can be avoided by implementing a custom linked list in the
map entries themselves.

 - The sets and collections returned by keySet(), values(), and
entries() are not properly backed by the map (in violation of the
java.util.Map contract).

The patch also adds an additional test case to verify that the remove()
method of the Iterator returned from keySet().iterator() is properly
backed by the map.

Regards,
Michael

p.s. Since the changes to SequencedHashMap were significant, I'm also
attaching a full version of the file for ease of glancing over the new
code.

 /**
- * <p>A {@link java.util.HashMap} whose keys are sequenced.  The
- * sequencing of the keys allow easy access to the values in the order
- * which they were added in.  This class is thread safe.</p>
+ *  A map of objects whose mapping entries are sequenced based on the
order in
+ *  which they were added.  This data structure has fast <I>O(1)</I>
search
+ *  time, deletion time, and insertion time.
  *
- * <p>Implementing the List interface is not possible due to a instance
- * method name clash between the Collection and the List interface:
+ *  This class inherits from {@link java.util.HashMap} purely for
backwards
+ *  compatibility.  It should really be inheriting from {@link
+ *  java.util.AbstractMap}, or with a tiny extra bit of work, implement
the
+ *  full map interface on its own. APIs should not rely on this class
being an
+ *  actual {@link java.util.HashMap}, and instead should recognize it
only as a
+ *  generic {@link java.util.Map} (unless, of course, you need the
sequencing
+ *  functionality, but even in that case, this class should not be
referred to
+ *  as a HashMap).
  *
- * <table>
- * <tr><td>Collections</td><td>boolean remove(Object o)</td></tr>
- * <tr><td>Lists</td><td>Object remove(Object o)</td></tr>
- * </table>
- * </p>
+ *  <P>Although this map is sequenced, it cannot implement {@link
+ *  java.util.List} because of incompatible interface definitions.  The
remove
+ *  methods in List and Map have different return values (see: {@link
+ *  java.util.List#remove(Object)} and {@link
java.util.Map#remove(Object)}).
  *
- * <p>So one cannot implement both interfaces at the same, which is
- * unfortunate because the List interface would be very nice in
- * conjuction with <a
- * href="http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/";>Velocity</a>.</p>
- *
- * <p>A slightly more complex implementation and interface could
involve
- * the use of a list of <code>Map.Entry</code> objects.</p>
+ *  <P>This class is not thread safe.  When a thread safe
implementation is
+ *  required, wrap this class using {@link
Collections#synchronizedMap(Map)},
+ *  or use explicit synchronization controls.
