public class Collections { // Suppresses default constructor, ensuring non-instantiability. private Collections() { }

public class Collections {
    // Suppresses default constructor, ensuring non-instantiability.
    private Collections() {
    }
...

All the included methods are static, if I were coding something similar I would have made the Collections.class abstract, but still have a private constructor – why is the class not defined as abstract ?

    A class being abstract implies that it can (and is intended to) be extended, which is not the case with the Collections class. That’s my guess.
