  - isEmpty
```
public static boolean isEmpty(Collection collection)
```
    Return true if the supplied Collection is null or empty. Otherwise, return false.
    
    Parameters:
    
    collection - the Collection to check
    
    Returns:
    
    whether the given Collection is empty

    Parameters:
    
    collection - the collection to check.
    
    Returns:
    
    the collection's size or 0 if the collection is null.
    
    Since:
    
    0.9.2
  - size
```
public static int size(Map map)
```
    Returns the map's size or 0 if the map is null.
    
    Parameters:
    
    map - the map to check
    
    Returns:
    
    the map's size or 0 if the map is null.

    0.9.2
  - isEmpty
```
public static boolean isEmpty(Map map)
```
    Return true if the supplied Map is null or empty. Otherwise, return false.
    
    Parameters:
    
    map - the Map to check
    
    Returns:

  - arrayToList
```
public static List arrayToList(Object source)
```
    Convert the supplied array into a List. A primitive array gets converted into a List of the appropriate wrapper type.
    A null source value will be converted to an empty List.
    
    Parameters:
    
    source - the (potentially primitive) array
    
    Returns:
    
    the converted List result

  - mergeArrayIntoCollection

                                            Collection collection)
```
    Merge the given array into the given Collection.

```
public static void mergePropertiesIntoMap(Properties props,

```
    Merge the given Properties instance into the given Map, copying all properties (key-value pairs) over.
    Uses Properties.propertyNames() to even catch default properties linked into the original Properties instance.
    
    Parameters:
    
    props - the Properties instance to merge (may be null)
    
    map - the target Map to merge the properties into
  - contains
```
public static boolean contains(Iterator iterator,
                               Object element)
```
    Check whether the given Iterator contains the given element.
    
    Parameters:
    
    iterator - the Iterator to check
    
    element - the element to look for
    
    Returns:
    
    true if found, false else
  - contains
```
public static boolean contains(Enumeration enumeration,
                               Object element)
```
    Check whether the given Enumeration contains the given element.
    
    Parameters:
    
    enumeration - the Enumeration to check
    
    element - the element to look for
    
    Returns:
    
    true if found, false else
  - containsInstance
```
public static boolean containsInstance(Collection collection,
                                       Object element)
```
    Check whether the given Collection contains the given element instance.
    Enforces the given instance to be present, rather than returning true for an equal element as well.
    
    Parameters:
    
    collection - the Collection to check
    
    element - the element to look for
    
    Returns:
    
    true if found, false else
  - containsAny
```
public static boolean containsAny(Collection source,
                                  Collection candidates)
```
    Return true if any element in 'candidates' is contained in 'source'; otherwise returns false.
    
    Parameters:
    
    source - the source Collection
    
    candidates - the candidates to search for
    
    Returns:
    
    whether any of the candidates has been found

    Determine whether the given Collection only contains a single unique object.
    
    Parameters:
    
    collection - the Collection to check

```
    Marshal the elements from the given enumeration into an array of the given type. Enumeration elements must be assignable to the type of the given array. The array returned will be a different instance than the array given.
  - toIterator
```
public static <E> Iterator<E> toIterator(Enumeration<E> enumeration)
```
    Adapt an enumeration to an iterator.
