Use ArrayDeque instead of LinkedList or Stack #257

Detect use of java.util.LinkedList and java.util.Stack.

Use of java.util.LinkedList should be discouraged. ArrayList is almost always a better choice than LinkedList. For queue-like behavior, ArrayDeque is the best choice.

Use of Stack, which is based on LinkedList, is best replaced by ArrayDeque.

This check should (1) locate instances of LinkedList and encourage replacing them with ArrayList or ArrayDeque, and (2) locate instances of Stack and encourage replacing them with ArrayDeque.

There are no negative cases.

We agree, but this is more appropriate as a best practices suggestion, not an error. We'll file an internal bug for the best practices too and CC you.
