Method Detail

buildHashMapFromStrings

public static final java.util.HashMap<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> buildHashMapFromStrings(java.lang.String[] strings)

Create a HashMap, and populate with entries from the passed in array of Strings. The key and value will be the same for each entry.

Parameters:

strings -

Returns:

buildHashMapFromLCStrings

public static final java.util.HashMap<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> buildHashMapFromLCStrings(java.lang.String[] strings)

Create a HashMap, and populate with entries from the passed in array of Strings. But only use Strings that are lower case; other entries in the array are ignored. The key and value will be the same for each entry.

Parameters:

strings -

Returns:

buildHashMap

public static <T> java.util.HashMap<T,T> buildHashMap(T[][] entries)

Create a HashMap, and popuplate with entries from the passed in array of key value pairs.

Parameters:

entries -

Returns:

buildMapFromStrings

Populate a HashMap from the supplied array of Strings. The key and value will be the same for each entry.

Parameters:

map -

strings -

buildMapFromLCStrings
