@Deprecated
public final class CacheUtil

Deprecated.

We now recommend you simply use your own new ConcurrentHashMap<>() instead.

Cache wannabe.

This class wanted to be Cache when it was grown up. Currently it's actually just a nested ConcurrentMap, and thus has fairly limited real value.

The usage of static methods here, instead of an (OSGi) "service" (dependency inject-able in tests!) makes it impossible to easily properly use code relying on this in component tests (as there would be no automatic reset between tests; you would have to manually destroyCache(String) @Before each test).

This class' "static" Singleton doesn't play nice with OSGi e.g. for hot reload.

This class' (necessary) use <?> generics causes @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") when used.

Perhaps you would like to use Google Guava's simple Caches, if not a full blown JSR 107 javax.cache (JCache) implementation, such as Infinispan or Ehcache, instead of this class?
