It's not a need, it's a want. As in:
We don't need stax to get an XML parser/generator. We want it so I
can benefit from the convenience and quality of the library.
In the same way I (and others) want to use google-collections because
it makes Java programming more productive. It eliminates boilerplate
code and provides an impressive amount of functionality that improves
on the base Java Collections Framework.
What exactly do you want Henning? Do you want to vote on whether we
use g-c or not?

I -1 this patch unless you can sufficiently explain why e.g.
- tokenData = new HashMap<String, String>(5,1);
+ tokenData = Maps.newHashMapWithExpectedSize(5);

APIs
and no knowledge of Google Collections.
Is it really that hard to understand? Really? Some Junior Devs
looked at
that code and easily understood the intent.
Everything needed has been said by Eric. He is smart and correct.
I stand by my -1 I would still appreciate a compelling explanation,
why this is needed.
