JCP vote. Google collections is a fantastic AP and I like MapMaker also. You could argue it is pushing too far towards caching though. Why I cant do Maps.newConcurrentHashMap() is a more pertinent question.
Guice has benefited the community also and we are all thankful to you, I hold my hat up for that, but I maintain Guice's most important role has been in influence rather than adoption. Where as Spring has basically ripped apart this nonsense of J2EE, Guice has influenced the direction of IoC and Spring adoption of better annotation/Java based configuration.
