46 /**
47  * An abstract implementation of Map to make it easier to create your own
48  * implementations. In order to create an unmodifiable Map, subclass
49  * AbstractMap and implement the <code>entrySet</code> (usually via an
50  * AbstractSet).  To make it modifiable, also implement <code>put</code>,
51  * and have <code>entrySet().iterator()</code> support <code>remove</code>.
52  * <p>
53  *
54  * It is recommended that classes which extend this support at least the
55  * no-argument constructor, and a constructor which accepts another Map.
56  * Further methods in this class may be overridden if you have a more
57  * efficient implementation.
