## Class CollectionFactory

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.internal.util.CollectionFactory

-     public final class CollectionFactory
      extends Object

  Static factory methods to ease the creation of new collection types (when using generics). Most of these method leverage the compiler's ability to match generic types by return value. Typical usage (with a static import):

       Map<Foo, Bar> map = newMap();

  This is a replacement for:

       Map<Foo, Bar> map = new HashMap<Foo, Bar>();

    All Methods Static Methods Concrete Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `static <V> Map<String,V>` | `newCaseInsensitiveMap()`
    `static <K,V> ConcurrentMap<K,V>` | `newConcurrentMap()` Constructs a new concurrent map, which is safe to access via multiple threads.
    `static <T> LinkedList<T>` | `newLinkedList()` Useful for queues.
    `static <T> List<T>` | `newList()` Contructs and returns a new generic `ArrayList` instance.
    `static <T,V extends T> List<T>` | `newList(Collection<V> list)` Constructs and returns a new `ArrayList` as a copy of the provided collection.
    `static <T,V extends T> List<T>` | `newList(V... elements)` Creates a new, fully modifiable list from an initial set of elements.
    `static <K,V> Map<K,V>` | `newMap()` Constructs and returns a generic `HashMap` instance.
    `static <K,V> Map<K,V>` | `newMap(Map<? extends K,? extends V> map)` Constructs a new `HashMap` instance by copying an existing Map instance.
    `static <T> Set<T>` | `newSet()` Constructs and returns a generic `HashSet` instance.
    `static <T,V extends T> Set<T>` | `newSet(Collection<V> values)` Contructs a new `HashSet` and initializes it using the provided collection.
    `static <T,V extends T> Set<T>` | `newSet(V... values)`
    `static <T> Stack<T>` | `newStack()`
    `static <T> List<T>` | `newThreadSafeList()` Constructs and returns a new `CopyOnWriteArrayList`.
