I do not think we should do this ,as there are legitimate occasions 
where HashMap may be used for performance, particularly when we have 
many insertions, one iteration, and iteration order is not exposed (e.g. 
the contents are re-sorted in another container). I think being too 
dogmatic, and in particular, allowing a simple rule-of-thumb enforced in 
maven to override the judgement of an experienced developer might not be 
the best approach.

That is a good point.
