             Summary: Rename MultiMap.remove(K, V) to avoid clashes with newly 
introduced default methods in Java 8
                 Key: COLLECTIONS-500
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-500
             Project: Commons Collections
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 4.0-alpha1
            Reporter: Thomas Neidhart
             Fix For: 4.0


Java 8 will introduce new default methods for the Map interface which clash 
with the existing method "V remove(K key, V value)" in our MultiMap interface.

To avoid future problems rename the method to a more specific version and 
change the return type to be more logical. Brief discussion on the ml favored 
either:

 * boolean removeMapping(K key, V value)
 * boolean removeValue(K key, V value)
