I can think of various possible names:
 Map2 - follows Sun naming standards for replacing interfaces
 MapA - similar idea, but doesn't clash if Sun ever creates Map2
 AMap - similar idea but reversed (A is for Apache)
 IMap - similar idea, but I is for interface
 IterableMap - the long name

If people favour IterableMap, then thats fine. I was looking for something
short to indicate that this should be a general replacement to using Map.
Maybe IterableMap is clearer though

Naming opinions please?

I like IterableMap, but I can also see why you wanted a short name.


What about XMap or MapX, to indicate a "Map extension", like the javax.* packages?

Similarly, HashMapX and XHashMap could be used instead of HashedMap.

It's kind of a strange situation, but it would be nice to come up with a nice naming standard for classes which can replace their JDK counterparts. Any other suggestions?
