The Java collections framework (JCF) is a set of classes and interfaces that implement commonly reusable collection data structures.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Lesson: Introduction to Collections )〕 Although referred to as a framework, it works in a manner of a library. The JCF provides both interfaces that define various collections and classes that implement them. ==History== Collection implementations in pre-JDK 1.2 versions of the Java platform included few data structure classes, but did not contain a collections framework.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Java Collections Framework )〕 The standard methods for grouping Java objects were via the array, the , and the classes, which unfortunately were not easy to extend, and did not implement a standard member interface. To address the need for reusable collection data structures, several independent frameworks were developed,〔 the most used being Doug Lea's ''Collections package'', and ObjectSpace ''Generic Collection Library'' (JGL),〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.stanford.edu/group/coursework/docsTech/jgl/ )〕 whose main goal was consistency with the C++ Standard Template Library (STL). The collections framework was designed and developed primarily by Joshua Bloch, and was introduced in JDK 1.2. It reused many ideas and classes from Doug Lea's ''Collections package'', which was deprecated as a result.〔 Sun chose not to use the ideas of JGL, because they wanted a compact framework, and consistency with C++ was not one of their goals. Doug Lea later developed a concurrency package, comprising new Collection-related classes. An updated version of these concurrency utilities was included in JDK 5.0 as of JSR 166. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Java collections framework」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
