Interface Summary

Interface	Description
Collection<E>	Interface that represents a collection of objects.
Comparator<T>	Interface for objects that specify an ordering between objects.
Enumeration<E>	Interface for lists of objects that can be returned in sequence.
EventListener	Empty interface that is implemented by classes that need to receive events.
Formattable	The Formattable interface is used to provide customised formatting to arbitrary objects via the Formatter.
Iterator<E>	An object which iterates over a collection.
List<E>	An ordered collection (also known as a list).
ListIterator<E>	An extended version of Iterator to support the extra features of Lists.
Map<K,V>	An object that maps keys onto values.
Map.Entry<K,V>	A map entry (key-value pair).
Observer	Interface that is implemented when a class wants to be informed of changes in Observable objects.
RandomAccess	Marker interface used to inform List implementations that they support fast (usually constant time) random access.
Set<E>	A collection that contains no duplicates.
SortedMap<K,V>	A map which guarantees its key's iteration order.
SortedSet<E>	A set which guarantees its iteration order.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AbstractCollection<E>	A basic implementation of most of the methods in the Collection interface to make it easier to create a collection.
AbstractList<E>	A basic implementation of most of the methods in the List interface to make it easier to create a List based on a random-access data structure.
AbstractMap<K,V>	An abstract implementation of Map to make it easier to create your own implementations.
AbstractMap.SimpleEntry<K,V>	A class which implements Map.Entry.
AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry<K,V>	A class containing an immutable key and value.

HashMap<K,V>	This class provides a hashtable-backed implementation of the Map interface.
HashSet<T>	This class provides a HashMap-backed implementation of the Set interface.
Hashtable<K,V>	A class which implements a hashtable data structure.

PropertyResourceBundle	This class is a concrete ResourceBundle that gets it resources from a property file.
Random	This class generates pseudorandom numbers.
ResourceBundle	A resource bundle contains locale-specific data.
Scanner
ServiceLoader<S>	Facilities for loading service providers.
SimpleTimeZone	This class represents a simple time zone offset and handles daylight savings.
Stack<T>
StringTokenizer	This class splits a string into tokens.
Timer	Timer that can run TimerTasks at a later time.
TimerTask	Task that can be run at a later time if given to a Timer.
TimeZone	This class represents a time zone offset and handles daylight savings.
TreeMap<K,V>	This class provides a red-black tree implementation of the SortedMap interface.
TreeSet<T>	This class provides a TreeMap-backed implementation of the SortedSet interface.

Enum	Description
Formatter.BigDecimalLayoutForm	The type of numeric output format for a BigDecimal.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
ConcurrentModificationException	Exception that is thrown by the collections classes when it is detected that a modification has been made to a data structure when this is not allowed, such as when a collection is structurally modified while an Iterator is operating over it.
DuplicateFormatFlagsException	Thrown when the flags supplied to the Formatter#format() method of a Formatter contain duplicates.
EmptyStackException	This exception is thrown by the Stack class when an attempt is made to pop or otherwise access elements from an empty stack.
FormatFlagsConversionMismatchException	Thrown when the flags supplied to the Formatter#format() method of a Formatter contains a flag that does not match the conversion character specified for it.
FormatterClosedException	Thrown when a method is called on a Formatter but it has already been closed.
IllegalFormatCodePointException	Thrown when a Formatter receives a character with an invalid Unicode codepoint, as defined by Character.isValidCodePoint(int).
