Here are improvements that I really want to see to Java Collection APIs: - Additional concurrent collection classes. Some of these classes will require synchronized modification, while supporting thread-safe unsynchronized access and concurrent iteration.
That's a somewhat vague request. If you have specific ideas/suggestions here feel free to raise them on the concurrency-inter...@cs.oswego.edu mailing list where Doug Lea and the JSR-166 EG will see them (along with a large chunk of the community interested in concurrent collections).
- Support for collections synchronized on a read-write lock.
Again can you be more specific? Read-write locks sound theoretically useful for some collection operations but the devil is in the details. Unlike synchronized collections you can't necessarily just use a wrapper.
