Let's suppose my Java program has 3 types of custom designed objects (entities, relationships, rulesets). If I need to build a collection of at least 1, but up to 3 of the types, each with a size of 0 to n, what is the best way to do so? Is the set class the right thing to use? Can the Collection class be used? How would I define such a 'set' or 'collection' in Java?

That's a good page! My googlefoo failed me, hence why I wrote this. I think I can figure it out from here. Should I close this? – WildBill Mar 17 '14 at 01:04

This flow chart, as created by @TimB, is a great tool for determining the right collection based on particular requirements.
