Thomas Neidhart commented on COLLECTIONS-481:
---------------------------------------------

Hi Hollis,

the overloaded methods with two arguments are usually there to avoid the following warning with Java 1.5 / 6:

Type safety: A generic array of Set<E> is created for a varargs parameter

So we want to keep them for the time being.
In the case of the addComposited(Set[]) method: this should indeed be changed to varargs.

> Composite* classes overload numerous methods/constructors for the sake of convenience. However, many overloads are unnecessary as their functionality is covered by vararg implementations. Redundant code should be removed.
