You could say that the verbs "add" and "remove" are used quite a lot in the
Java 2 collections.
<aside>
I saw somewhere today that the Java 2 collections are referred to as the
Java Collection Framework or JCF which is a new one on me).
</aside>
So the Queue interface might be more JCF-like if it were:-
public interface Queue {
public void add(Object);
// blocking remove
public Object remove();
public Object remove(long timeout);
// non-blocking
public Object removeNoWait();
// peek - doesn't remove
public Object get();
}
I'm less sure about the get() method. getFirst() would be like LinkedList?
Maybe leaving it as peek() is more appropriate....
