This works for me.. I'm not sure why every one was after a Map, List> All I needed was a simple name value Map.

To keep things simple I used the build in URI.getQuery();

public static Map getUrlParameters(URI uri)
    throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
    Map params = new HashMap();
    for (String param : uri.getQuery().split("&")) {
        String pair[] = param.split("=");
        String key = URLDecoder.decode(pair[0], "UTF-8");
        String value = "";
        if (pair.length > 1) {
            value = URLDecoder.decode(pair[1], "UTF-8");
        }
        params.put(new String(key), new String(value));
    }
    return params;
}
