在Java 8中，您可以直接使用此过滤器方法，然后执行此操作。

 List<String> lines = Arrays.asList("java", "pramod", "example");

 List<String> result = lines.stream()              
         .filter(line -> !"pramod".equals(line))     
         .collect(Collectors.toList());              

 result.forEach(System.out::println); 

JFilter http://code.google.com/p/jfilter/最适合您的需求。

JFilter是一个简单、高性能的开源库，用于查询Java bean集合。

关键特性

Support of collection (java.util.Collection, java.util.Map and Array) properties. Support of collection inside collection of any depth. Support of inner queries. Support of parameterized queries. Can filter 1 million records in few 100 ms. Filter ( query) is given in simple json format, it is like Mangodb queries. Following are some examples. { "id":{"$le":"10"} where object id property is less than equals to 10. { "id": {"$in":["0", "100"]}} where object id property is 0 or 100. {"lineItems":{"lineAmount":"1"}} where lineItems collection property of parameterized type has lineAmount equals to 1. { "$and":[{"id": "0"}, {"billingAddress":{"city":"DEL"}}]} where id property is 0 and billingAddress.city property is DEL. {"lineItems":{"taxes":{ "key":{"code":"GST"}, "value":{"$gt": "1.01"}}}} where lineItems collection property of parameterized type which has taxes map type property of parameteriszed type has code equals to GST value greater than 1.01. {'$or':[{'code':'10'},{'skus': {'$and':[{'price':{'$in':['20', '40']}}, {'code':'RedApple'}]}}]} Select all products where product code is 10 or sku price in 20 and 40 and sku code is "RedApple".

使用集合查询引擎(CQEngine)。这是目前为止最快的方法。

请参见:如何在Java中查询对象集合(Criteria/SQL-like)?

等待Java 8:

List<Person> olderThan30 = 
  //Create a Stream from the personList
  personList.stream().
  //filter the element to select only those with age >= 30
  filter(p -> p.age >= 30).
  //put those filtered elements into a new List.
  collect(Collectors.toList());

使用来自Apache Commons的CollectionUtils.filter(Collection,Predicate)。

考虑使用支持泛型的更新的Collections框架谷歌Collections。

更新:谷歌集合库现在已弃用。你应该使用最新发布的番石榴。它仍然具有对集合框架的所有相同扩展，包括基于谓词进行筛选的机制。
