You should normally use ArrayList - it offers better performance.Vector has just one "advantage" - it is synchronised for concurrent modification. But it turns out that this feature isn't very useful - if you are writing concurrent code, you typically need to lock at a much higher level of granularity than an individual collection class.As a result, Vector is often considered deprecated nowadays.
