I want to filter a java.util.Collection
based on a predicate.

Java 8 (2014) solves this problem using streams and lambdas in one line of code:
List<Person> beerDrinkers = persons.stream()
.filter(p -> p.getAge() > 16).collect(Collectors.toList());
Here’s a tutorial.
Use Collection#removeIf
to modify the collection in place. (Notice: In this case, the predicate will remove objects who satisfy the predicate):
persons.removeIf(p -> p.getAge() <= 16);
lambdaj allows filtering collections without writing loops or inner classes:
List<Person> beerDrinkers = select(persons, having(on(Person.class).getAge(),
greaterThan(16)));
Can you imagine something more readable?
