Code Review Request for 4533691 (add Collections.EMPTY_SORTED_SET)

[Jason Mehrens]

Darryl,
 
I would get rid of the public static field so this class can be lazy loaded like EmptyIterator and ReverseComparator (in 1.7).  What about accepting a comparator as an argument?  I bet the bug report is predates 1.6, so maybe you should target NavigableSet instead of sorted set.
 
Regards,
 
Jason

> The sets resulting from tailSet() headSet() and subSet() normally 
> include the range which was used to create them. Using these methods
