This looks much better.
loadfactor and size validation look good, and in line with the original
suggestion in the bug.
For the initial capacity what was originally suggested was to use a
similar technique to that of HashMap.readObject ( to ensure that the
table never needs to be rehashed during load, and ends up being at least
25% full). Snippet from the bug:
int capacity = (int)Math.min(size * Math.min(1 / loadFactor, 4.0f),
HashMap.MAXIMUM_CAPACITY);
I'm curious why you have not taken that suggestion? What you have looks
ok, but it does reply on reasonable capacity and loadfactor values.
I have not looked in any detail at the test, but the file should start
with the copyright/header, and not the import statements.
