[java] Adding elements to a collection during iteration

This is what I usually do, with collections like sets:

Set<T> adds = new HashSet<T>, dels = new HashSet<T>;
for ( T e: target )
  if ( <has to be removed> ) dels.add ( e );
  else if ( <has to be added> ) adds.add ( <new element> )

target.removeAll ( dels );
target.addAll ( adds );

This creates some extra-memory (the pointers for intermediate sets, but no duplicated elements happen) and extra-steps (iterating again over changes), however usually that's not a big deal and it might be better than working with an initial collection copy.
