Sebb commented on COLLECTIONS-430: ---------------------------------- Also, why is <String, String> treated specially? It may be a common usage for the map, but surely there are other use cases with different key/value types. The factory method name should give a clue as to the key/value types, making it longer. A workround is for the application to have its own utility class factory methods. These can have as short a name as you like. > Create static factory methods for concrete data structure impls in the > corresponding Utils classes > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: COLLECTIONS-430 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-430 > Project: Commons Collections > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 4.0 > Reporter: Thomas Neidhart > Fix For: 4.0 > > > It is quite tedious to write code like this: > {noformat} > BidiMap<String, String> map = new DualHashBidiMap<String, String>(); > {noformat} > a more convenient way would be to take advantage from type inference like > this: > {noformat} > BidiMap<String, String> map = MapUtils.newHashBidiMap(); > {noformat} > This would apply basically for all data structures that are available in CC > atm. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
