However, some of the implementations could be quite valuable. Maybe if there were some more documentation on its usage and package hierarchy in the javadoc, like in other areas of Collections, then there would be less adversity?

is there much of a link in codebase / use cases of the primitive collections and primitive utilities within lang etc...
perhaps a primitives project with a sub package o.a.c.primitive.collections would work?
I know I'd be a heavy user of both together.
definitely still useful even when 1.5 boxing happens.
colt has some very impressive primitive maps where you can roll your own reasonably simply (int -> double, long-->Object, int->int etc provided already but with 'template' to sort your own out) long->Object is perfect for massive caches of credit card number->Object maps, only about 16MB overhead per million entries and still very fast.
they are a mix of licences and I doubt they are apache compatible though.

Subject: [pcollections][PROPOSAL] Primitive collections - new sandbox component from [collections]
The attached proposal is to create a new Sandbox project, named
[pcollections] to house a complete set of primitive collections. Reasoning:
1) [collections] is already large, and primitive-collections and collections
actually have remarkably little in common
2) The current primitive collections code in [collections] is completely
isolated from the rest of the [collections] code, a sure-fire indicator of
being better in a separate project with its own release cycle
3) A positive response from Soren Bak of the PCJ project to integrate a
complete set of primitive-collections together in one place.
This mail is to enable anyone to - object to the idea - come up with a better name than pcollections - to volunteer support (please!!) - or any other comment :-)
