EnumSet<E extends Enum<E>> An EnumSet is a specialized Set to be used with enums as keys. 
EventListenerProxy This abstract class provides a simple wrapper for objects of type EventListener
EventObject EventObjects represent events. 
FormattableFlags FormattableFlags are used as a parameter to formatTo(Formatter, int, int, int) and change the output format in Formattables. 
Formatter Formats arguments according to a format string (like printf in C). 
GregorianCalendar GregorianCalendar is a concrete subclass of Calendar and provides the standard calendar used by most of the world. 
HashMap<K, V> HashMap is an implementation of Map
HashSet<E> HashSet is an implementation of a Set. 
Hashtable<K, V> Hashtable is a synchronized implementation of Map
IdentityHashMap<K, V> IdentityHashMap is a variant on HashMap which tests equality by reference instead of equality by value.

LinkedHashSet<E> LinkedHashSet is a variant of HashSet. 
LinkedList<E> LinkedList is an implementation of List, backed by a doubly-linked list. 
ListResourceBundle ListResourceBundle is the abstract superclass of classes which provide resources by implementing the getContents() method to return the list of resources. 
Locale Locale represents a language/country/variant combination. 
Observable Observable is used to notify a group of Observer objects when a change occurs. 
PriorityQueue<E> A PriorityQueue holds elements on a priority heap, which orders the elements according to their natural order or according to the comparator specified at construction time. 
Properties A Properties object is a Hashtable where the keys and values must be Strings.
