no Lists.newVector()

[enefem]

Is there any particular reason why there is no Lists.newVector() ?

Thanks

There has never really been a good reason to use Vector since JDK 1.2 when ArrayList was added.

i cannot speak for the api designers, but vector is officially a
"legacy" class. (there is an official post by sun on this matter, on
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/collections/implementations/index.html
)
it is superseded by ArrayList (not threadsave) or alternatively
Collections.synchronizedList().

in general, you want to synchronize over a sequence of operations on
the collections which is not cleanly possible with Vector. in this
situation, you can use Collections.synchronizedList() and build your
own synchronized blocks with it.
