(Sorry for the dupe, forgot to put [Collections] in the subject line) Hi,
I see that there's still an open enhancement issue for the ChainedHashMap implementation (16465, opened Jan 27 2003 and status is still NEW). Will this get into the 3.0 release? I'd also love to see some better JavaDocs for MultiMap about order of the collection retrieved via a get(). The MultiMap interface incorrectly states that "This implementation uses an ArrayList as the collection." which is impossible to say in an interface and implies a specific ordering of values per key. In addition, the MultiHashMap implementation states the same thing, but it uses Values, which is an inner class that extends AbstractCollection and doesn't say anything (one way or the other) about ordering. Finally, I find the JUnit tests for MultiHashMap to be somewhat obscure. I was looking for basic tests on adding values, removing values, removing an entire key, etc. Instead I found random strings, etc., that don't help someone new to the MultiMap interface. I'd be happy to help out with these things, btw. ;ted -- Internal Data Tools Staff Engineer, eBay, Inc.
