 * This class provides a skeletal implementation of the <tt>Set
 * interface to minimize the effort required to implement this
 * interface. <p>
 *
 * The process of implementing a set by extending this class is identical
 * to that of implementing a Collection by extending AbstractCollection,
 * except that all of the methods and constructors in subclasses of this
 * class must obey the additional constraints imposed by the <tt>Set
 * interface (for instance, the add method must not permit addition of
 * multiple instances of an object to a set).<p>
 *
 * Note that this class does not override any of the implementations from
 * the <tt>AbstractCollection class.  It merely adds implementations
 * for <tt>equals and hashCode.

 *
 * This class is a member of the
 * <a href="{@docRoot}/../technotes/guides/collections/index.html">
 * Java Collections Framework</a>.
 *
 * @param <E> the type of elements maintained by this set
