Util.Collections
Class MapFactory  

java.lang.Object
  Util.Collections.MapFactory

Direct Known Subclasses:

Factories.SerialMapFactory, LightMap.Factory, MultiMapFactory, SetRepository.SimpleHashSetFactory

---

public abstract class MapFactory

extends java.lang.Object

MapFactory is a Map generator. Subclasses should implement constructions of specific types of Maps.

Note also that the current limitations on parametric types in Java mean that we can't easily type this class as MapFactory<M extends Map<K,V>,K,V>, as MapFactory<HashMap<K,V>,K,V> is not a subtype of MapFactory<Map<K,V>,K,V>, even though HashMap is a subtype of Map.
