Create an Ordered Map in Java
Description
The following code shows how to create an Ordered Map.
Example
//ww w.j ava 2s . co m
import java.util.AbstractMap;
import java.util.AbstractSet;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Set;
/**
* This is a simple Map implementation backed by a List of Map.Entry objects.
* It has the property that iterators return entries in the order in whick
* they were inserted.
*
* Operations involving searching, including get() and put(), have cost linear
* to the size of the map. In other words, avoid this implementation if your
* Map might get large.
*
* If we could assume Java 1.4+, we'd just use java.util.LinkedHashMap
* instead of this class. But we can't.
