public class LinkedSet
extends HashSet

This class is a hash set, in which the elements are linked together, ordered by their adding to the set. The last added object is added to the end of the sequence. Re-adding an already contained object won't change the order of the set. If touch ordering is set, accessed objects in the set will be moved to the end of the sequence.
