What is the Java equivalent for LINQ? [closed]

Answer 1

I tried guava-libraries from google. It has a FluentIterable which I think is close to LINQ. Also see FunctionalExplained.

List parts = new ArrayList();  // add parts to the collection.    
FluentIterable partsStartingA = 
    FluentIterable.from(parts).filter(new Predicate() {
        @Override
        public boolean apply(final String input) {
            return input.startsWith("a");
        }
    }).transform(new Function() {
        @Override
        public Integer apply(final String input) {
            return input.length();
        }
    });

Seems to be an extensive library for Java. Certainly not as succinct as LINQ but looks interesting.
