Re: [lang][collections] Overlap; Collections thoughts
Briefly looking at
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/mahout/trunk/math/src/main/java/org/apache/mahout/math/
- it looks like this is more along the lines of the Collections as new
data structures/algorithms rather than Collections as JDK enhancer?
Ignoring the edge case overlaps with Math and Lang anyway.

If by 'jdk enhancer' you mean 'provide newer functionality to older
