Best way to remove repeats in a collection in Java?

Hey all, This is a two-part question: First, I am interested to know what the best way to remove repeating elements from a collection is. The way I have been doing it up until now is to simply convert the collection into a set. I know sets cannot have repeating elements so it just handles it for me. Is this an efficient solution?

Using Sets in Ruby

I'm building a simple Ruby on Rails plugin and I'm considering using the Set class. I don't see the Set class used all too often in other people's code.

Python: Set with only existance check?

I have a set of lots of big long strings that I want to do existence lookups for. I don't need the whole string ever to be saved.
