Ignat Alexeyenko created COLLECTIONS-527:
--------------------------------------------

             Summary: Please create a version commons-collections 3.x for jdk 8 
compatibility
                 Key: COLLECTIONS-527
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-527
             Project: Commons Collections
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Ignat Alexeyenko
            Priority: Blocker
         Attachments: COLLECTIONS_3_2_BRANCH_COLLECTIONS_527.patch

Could you make a 3.x or 3.2.x
{code}
org.apache.commons.collections.MultiHashMap {
   public Object remove(Object key, Object item);
}
{code}

is not compatible with JDK's 8 Map

{code}
java.util.Map {
   boolean remove(Object key, Object value);
}
{code}

*Reasoning*
JDK 8 is here and being adopted. collection-commons are not yet compatible with 
Java 8. For many big project switch to commons-collections 4.x is not an option 
- some transitional release needs to be required.

Alternative would be for companies to fork commons-collections and create their 
internal artifact. Why do it if the official compatibility version can be 
created?

Thanks!
