Read Me

A lot of projects use java.util.queue because they have no needs for huge JMS implementation.
This projects will come in trouble if they get the additional requirements:

- to store the queue data persistently, so they can be reused after shutdown or crash
- to store huge amount of entries in the queue (java.util.queue stores in memory)

This simple implementation stores all queue data on hard drive split in smaller files
and provides most methods of interface java.util.queue. There are some restriction in provied Collection
and Iteration functionalities of java.util.queue.

There are other small queue implementations, in difference to them this implementation:

- don't uses (small) RDBM (which makes most solutions slow)
- uses the standardized interface java.util.queue
- don't hold all queue entries as copy in memory
