set - Alternative to using TreeSet in java? -
i'm looking set class use given comparator removeall().
i using treeset after few hours ripping hair out trying figured out why removeall() not removing found this...
http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4730113
long story short removeall() uses equals() method. (but oddly enough remove() method doesn't...)
i want set duplicates removed, preferably comparator not required, , can't override equals method b/c need other logic. , avoid making loop calls remove() on elements doesn't confuse me in future (or else).
does such animal animal exist?
treeset.removeall
method accepts collection<?>
parameter. objects in collection can of type, not comparable objects. need make own set different method. note bug resolution "won't fix"
