Hi Remi,

Thanks for mentioning this. The main JEP for this effort is

     https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8048330

Although this hasn't been updated in some time, I'm intending to return to this 
in the near future with an eye toward integrating it into JDK 9.

The JEP says that we "might" also include static factory methods for the most 
common concrete collections. The current thinking is now that we will definitely 
include them.
