public static <K> HashSet<K> newHashSet() { return new HashSet<K>(); }
Creates a HashSet instance containing the given elements.

Note: due to a bug in javac 1.5.0_06, we cannot support the following:

Set<Base> set = Sets.newHashSet(sub1, sub2);

where sub1 and sub2 are references to subtypes of Base, not of Base itself. To get around this, you must use:

Set<Base> set = Sets.<Base>newHashSet(sub1, sub2);

Params:
  • elements – the elements that the set should contain
Returns:a newly-created HashSet containing those elements (minus duplicates)
