Hi,
I have raised an enhancement request (Incident Report 913453) about adding some
convenience methods to the Stream interface that collect the stream and Pallavi
Sonal asked me to start a thread here about that.
More than 50% of our Stream collect calls use Collectors.toList() or
Collectors.toSet() as arguments so I think it would be very handy if the Stream
interface had default collectToList and collectToList and collectToMap methods.
The advantages are:
it would be easier to use code completion in IDEs. There are lot of
classes starting with Collect so finding the Collectors class is a bit of a
pain.
one less method call in what is usually a long chain of calls.
