Size-limited queue that holds last N elements in Java

Question

A very simple & quick question on Java libraries: is there a ready-made class that implements a Queue with a fixed maximum size - i.e. it always allows addi

Answer 1

I like @FractalizeR solution. But I would in addition keep and return the value from super.add(o)!

public class LimitedQueue extends LinkedList {

    private int limit;

    public LimitedQueue(int limit) {
        this.limit = limit;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean add(E o) {
        boolean added = super.add(o);
        while (added && size() > limit) {
           super.remove();
        }
        return added;
    }
}
