Collections

1.  作为工具类，提供排序功能

    public static <T extends Comparable<? super T>> void sort(List<T> list) {
        list.sort(null);
    }

    public static <T> void sort(List<T> list, Comparator<? super T> c) {
        list.sort(c);
    }

2.  提供二分查找功能

     public static <T>
    int binarySearch(List<? extends Comparable<? super T>> list, T key) {
        if (list instanceof RandomAccess || list.size()<BINARYSEARCH_THRESHOLD)
            return Collections.indexedBinarySearch(list, key);
        else
            return Collections.iteratorBinarySearch(list, key);
    }

    public static <T> int binarySearch(List<? extends T> list, T key, Comparator<? super T> c) {
        if (c==null)
            return binarySearch((List<? extends Comparable<? super T>>) list, key);

        if (list instanceof RandomAccess || list.size()<BINARYSEARCH_THRESHOLD)
            return Collections.indexedBinarySearch(list, key, c);
        else
            return Collections.iteratorBinarySearch(list, key, c);
    }

3.   逆序功能

    public static void reverse(List<?> list) {
        int size = list.size();
        if (size < REVERSE_THRESHOLD || list instanceof RandomAccess) {
            for (int i=0, mid=size>>1, j=size-1; i<mid; i++, j--)
                swap(list, i, j);
        } else {
            // instead of using a raw type here, it's possible to capture
            // the wildcard but it will require a call to a supplementary
            // private method
            ListIterator fwd = list.listIterator();
            ListIterator rev = list.listIterator(size);
            for (int i=0, mid=list.size()>>1; i<mid; i++) {
                Object tmp = fwd.next();
                fwd.set(rev.previous());
                rev.set(tmp);
            }
        }
    }

4.  所谓的 Collections.synchronizedXXX  方法，其实是内部使用 this 作为锁，所有方法的执行先获得锁，比如

     装饰器模式的应用

    public static <T> Collection<T> synchronizedCollection(Collection<T> c) {
        return new SynchronizedCollection<>(c);
    }

    static <T> Collection<T> synchronizedCollection(Collection<T> c, Object mutex) {
        return new SynchronizedCollection<>(c, mutex);
    }

    /**
     * @serial include
     */
    static class SynchronizedCollection<E> implements Collection<E>, Serializable {
        private static final long serialVersionUID = 3053995032091335093L;

        final Collection<E> c;  // Backing Collection
        final Object mutex;     // Object on which to synchronize

        SynchronizedCollection(Collection<E> c) {
            this.c = Objects.requireNonNull(c);
            mutex = this;
        }

        SynchronizedCollection(Collection<E> c, Object mutex) {
            this.c = Objects.requireNonNull(c);
            this.mutex = Objects.requireNonNull(mutex);
        }

        public int size() {
            synchronized (mutex) {return c.size();}
        }
        public boolean isEmpty() {
            synchronized (mutex) {return c.isEmpty();}
        }
        public boolean contains(Object o) {
            synchronized (mutex) {return c.contains(o);}
        }
        public Object[] toArray() {
            synchronized (mutex) {return c.toArray();}
        }
        public <T> T[] toArray(T[] a) {
            synchronized (mutex) {return c.toArray(a);}
        }

        public Iterator<E> iterator() {
            return c.iterator(); // Must be manually synched by user!
        }

        public boolean add(E e) {
            synchronized (mutex) {return c.add(e);}
        }
        public boolean remove(Object o) {
            synchronized (mutex) {return c.remove(o);}
        }

        public boolean containsAll(Collection<?> coll) {
            synchronized (mutex) {return c.containsAll(coll);}
        }
        public boolean addAll(Collection<? extends E> coll) {
            synchronized (mutex) {return c.addAll(coll);}
        }
        public boolean removeAll(Collection<?> coll) {
            synchronized (mutex) {return c.removeAll(coll);}
        }
        public boolean retainAll(Collection<?> coll) {
            synchronized (mutex) {return c.retainAll(coll);}
        }
        public void clear() {
            synchronized (mutex) {c.clear();}
        }
        public String toString() {
            synchronized (mutex) {return c.toString();}
        }
        // Override default methods in Collection
        @Override
        public void forEach(Consumer<? super E> consumer) {
            synchronized (mutex) {c.forEach(consumer);}
        }
        @Override
        public boolean removeIf(Predicate<? super E> filter) {
            synchronized (mutex) {return c.removeIf(filter);}
        }
        @Override
        public Spliterator<E> spliterator() {
            return c.spliterator(); // Must be manually synched by user!
        }
        @Override
        public Stream<E> stream() {
            return c.stream(); // Must be manually synched by user!
        }
        @Override
        public Stream<E> parallelStream() {
            return c.parallelStream(); // Must be manually synched by user!
        }
        private void writeObject(ObjectOutputStream s) throws IOException {
            synchronized (mutex) {s.defaultWriteObject();}
        }
    }

       几乎用 synchronizedXXX 把所有的集合接口都实现了一遍，增加了锁
