Uses of Interface
java.util.Queue

Packages that use Queue
java.util Contains the collections framework, legacy collection classes, event model, date and time facilities, internationalization, and miscellaneous utility classes (a string tokenizer, a random-number generator, and a bit array). 
java.util.concurrent Utility classes commonly useful in concurrent programming. 
 

Uses of Queue in java.util
 

Subinterfaces of Queue in java.util
 interface Deque<E>
          A linear collection that supports element insertion and removal at both ends.
 

Classes in java.util that implement Queue
 class AbstractQueue<E>
          This class provides skeletal implementations of some Queue operations.
 class ArrayDeque<E>
          Resizable-array implementation of the Deque interface.
 class LinkedList<E>
          Linked list implementation of the List interface.
 class PriorityQueue<E>
          An unbounded priority queue based on a priority heap.
 

Methods in java.util that return Queue
static
<T> Queue<T>
Collections.asLifoQueue(Deque<T> deque)
          Returns a view of a Deque as a Last-in-first-out (Lifo) Queue.
 

Uses of Queue in java.util.concurrent
 

Subinterfaces of Queue in java.util.concurrent
 interface BlockingDeque<E>
          A Deque that additionally supports blocking operations that wait for the deque to become non-empty when retrieving an element, and wait for space to become available in the deque when storing an element.
 interface BlockingQueue<E>
          A Queue that additionally supports operations that wait for the queue to become non-empty when retrieving an element, and wait for space to become available in the queue when storing an element.
 

Classes in java.util.concurrent that implement Queue
 class ArrayBlockingQueue<E>
          A bounded blocking queue backed by an array.
 class ConcurrentLinkedQueue<E>
          An unbounded thread-safe queue based on linked nodes.
 class DelayQueue<E extends Delayed>
          An unbounded blocking queue of Delayed elements, in which an element can only be taken when its delay has expired.
 class LinkedBlockingDeque<E>
          An optionally-bounded blocking deque based on linked nodes.
 class LinkedBlockingQueue<E>
          An optionally-bounded blocking queue based on linked nodes.
 class PriorityBlockingQueue<E>
          An unbounded blocking queue that uses the same ordering rules as class PriorityQueue and supplies blocking retrieval operations.
 class SynchronousQueue<E>
          A blocking queue in which each insert operation must wait for a corresponding remove operation by another thread, and vice versa.
