After searching on the web I didn’t found a well-done article on the JCF and what
there was prior of the framework.

Does anyone know a book, site or itself a good history paper on the question title?

    From Josh Bloch’s introduction to the (his?) collection framework:

    Collection implementations in earlier (pre-1.2) versions of the Java platform included Vector, Hashtable, and array. However, those earlier versions did not contain a collections framework.

    So before Java 1.2 we already had utility classes for common data structures (Vector, Hashtable) but those classes didn’t share the common interfaces (java.util.Collection, java.util.List, …) that are the basis of the collection framework.
