1. Collection 和 Collections
首先要明确的是,Collection 和 Collections是两个不同的概念。Collection是一个接口,所有的集合类(除Map外)都要继承(实现)自该接口。它提供了对集合对象进行基本操作的通用接口方法。Collections是一个包装类,它包含有各种有关集合操作的静态多态方法。(Collections是一个工具类,不能实例化)

3. Map家族的关系图

5. 代码示例
下面是一个简单的例子来说明一些集合类型:
List<String> a1 = new ArrayList<String>();
a1.add("Program");
a1.add("Creek");
a1.add("Java");
a1.add("Java");
System.out.println("ArrayList Elements");
System.out.print("\t" + a1 + "\n");
List<String> l1 = new LinkedList<String>();
l1.add("Program");
l1.add("Creek");
l1.add("Java");
l1.add("Java");
System.out.println("LinkedList Elements");
System.out.print("\t" + l1 + "\n");
Set<String> s1 = new HashSet<String>(); // or new TreeSet() will order the elements;
s1.add("Program");
s1.add("Creek");
s1.add("Java");
s1.add("Java");
s1.add("tutorial");
System.out.println("Set Elements");
System.out.print("\t" + s1 + "\n");
Map<String, String> m1 = new HashMap<String, String>(); // or new TreeMap() will order based on keys
m1.put("Windows", "2000");
m1.put("Windows", "XP");
m1.put("Language", "Java");
m1.put("Website", "programcreek.com");
System.out.println("Map Elements");
System.out.print("\t" + m1);
输出结果:
ArrayList Elements
[Program, Creek, Java, Java]
LinkedList Elements
[Program, Creek, Java, Java]
Set Elements
[tutorial, Creek, Program, Java]
Map Elements
{Windows=XP, Website=programcreek.com, Language=Java}
