[Tm4j-developers] TopicMap interface: getTopics() and getAssociations() methods

[Florian H. <f.g...@gm...>]

Hello,

just out of curiosity: what's the particular reason why the TopicMap
interface's getTopics() method returns a Set, while getAssociations(), like
getObjects() and the other corresponding getXxx() methods of other interfaces,
returns a generic Collection?

I apologize if this has been discussed on this list before; I wouldn't know
since the GeoCrawler list search engine at SourceForge.net is currently not
functional. :-|
