The first sentence of the referenced bug reads
The ArrayList class in the new collections
framework is not useful (in the way that the
Vector class is) for implementing *sparse*,
variable-size arrays.
Part of this is true: ArrayList is not suitable for sparse
arrays. The silent implication that Vector *is* suitable for
sparse arrays, though, is false. Neither class is suitable
for sparse arrays. (Demonstration: Try inserting [0]->"A"
and [2173741823]->"Z" in either.)
Perhaps if you'd explain your use case in more detail
someone will have a suggestion you may find helpful.
Also, it seems to me you should apologize to the responders
and retract the word "brainlessly." More thought went into the
response than into the complaint.
