GregorianCalendar GregorianCalendar is a concrete subclass of Calendar and provides the standard calendar used by most of the world. 
HashMap <K, V> HashMap is an implementation of Map
HashSet <E> HashSet is an implementation of a Set. 
Hashtable <K, V> Hashtable is a synchronized implementation of Map
IdentityHashMap <K, V> IdentityHashMap is a variant on HashMap which tests equality by reference instead of equality by value.

LinkedHashSet <E> LinkedHashSet is a variant of HashSet. 
LinkedList <E> LinkedList is an implementation of List , backed by a doubly-linked list. 
ListResourceBundle ListResourceBundle is the abstract superclass of classes which provide resources by implementing the getContents() method to return the list of resources. 
Locale Locale represents a language/country/variant combination. 
Objects Utility methods for objects. 
Observable Observable is used to notify a group of Observer objects when a change occurs.
