Do we really need a concurrent version of this class? How often will Entry
classes change?
My choice is always to consider concurrency first, unless there is some element
of performance that this impacts. The simple fact is that there is a toString()
that traverses the contents. So, you either must synchronize all access to the
contents, or use a CHM which solves the problem without any future concurrency
surprises.
I'm really serious about this, because of how I've encountered tons of
"synchronized" blocks in river which introduce huge latency in "processing"
because they cause everyone to wait in line for stuff which very often is quite
independent.
Yes, this structure is mostly one time mutated. But, its design exposes a
continuous mutation capability. Thus, any "read" of the contents has to take
that into account.

Yes definitely the case. CHM just makes it a lot easier to not worry about map
and set data structures in terms of concurrent access of mutating data. Set
and HashSet are useful, but not always in concurrent mutating data management.
I still prefer Vector over ArrayList just because it eliminates iteration
problems that alway require the same lines of code to resolve.

All true, still need to document the concurrent contract for this class and
implement accordingly.
i.e. We can say "toString" is thread safe etc and then use ConcurrentHashMap
and friends.
But we gotta do it right....

The null check in the equals method isn't needed because you get a
free one by using "instanceof".
I know you've warned that the class is not thread-safe, but people
often forget that doing a sysout of an object calls toString(). I'd
still be tempted to whack some protection into toString to stop it
blowing up when people start printing lots of debug messages.
Other than that it looks good to me.
I'd suggest that it would be easy enough to just use ConcurrentHashMap
instead of HashSet if we are going to move to Java 5 anyway. Then, you
don't have to worry about concurrency issues with toString() etc.

Solid - probably ought to be a constructor that doesn't add defaults
too.....and maybe a note about thread safety on add.
