Dependency Management - Collections Library

[GurRonen]

Currently we use multiple collections libraries, including:

• Apache Collections
• Google Collections
• Java Stream API

all of them are lacking some features which exist in other languages such as Scala and the .Net family

a solution to this is using the Seq API from JOOQ/JOOL.

• Much easier to use than StreamSupport and the stream API
• has more features
• very readable
• encapsulates the required API from both the apache/google libraries and the stream API.

some resources:

• Introductory Blog
• Github repository
• Javadoc

from personal experience, the JOOL api fits our needs and gives us greater flexibility.
