Overview of the Java Collections Framework
The J2SE contains a collection of classes and interfaces referred to as a collec-

is to provide a common
architecture for working with collections, reducing the amount of code that
developers need to write by providing the basic data structures. Data struc-
tures fit into three basic categories:
