Open Source General Purpose Libraries in Java - jga: Generic Algorithms for Java

he goal of this project is to provide functionality roughly analogous to the portions of the C++ STL library that are not already provided by java. The primary functionality to be provided is: * a set of functors and predicates that may be applied both the the generic collections and to other areas of the standard java library. * basic utility algorithms for use with java collections such as those found in STL * implementations of standard java classes that are intended to be user-derivable that apply the algorithms and functors for general benefit (for example, implementations of standard swing models that take advantage of predicates and functors) We will not necessarily reproduce STL in all of its details: where Java and C++ provide different interpretations of standard design patterns, we will stay true to standard Java practices in order to be as comfortable for Java programmers to adopt as is practical. We will also not necessarily be limited by the scope or approach of STL
