Map is an interface in java.util package. Map

[rakesh sugirtharaj]

A Map, simply put, is like a telephone directory. You have the name(key) and number(value). When you want to search for a number(value) you look up the name(key). Makes sense?

[Aniruddh Joshi]

you can read the javadoc here

[Campbell Ritchie]

You need a trip to the Java Tutorials. There is a section about Maps in that part.
