    `XDocletException` - if something goes wrong
  doc.tag
    type="content"
  doc.param
    name="key" optional="false" description="The collection to operate on.", name="name" optional="false" description="The key to retrive."

### create

    public void create(Properties attributes)
                throws XDocletException

  Creates a new utility collection that will store template data. If a collection with the specified name already exists, an XDocletException will be thrown.

  Throws:
    `XDocletException` - if something goes wrong

  doc.param
    name="name" optional="false" description="The name for the newly created collection", name="type" optional="true" values="map,set" description="The type of the collection to create. Default value is set"

### put

    public void put(Properties attributes)
             throws XDocletException

  Puts a new element into the specified collection. If the collection is a set, only the 'name' and 'value' attributes should be specified.

    `attributes` - The attributes of the template tag
  Throws:
    `XDocletException` - if something goes wrong
  doc.tag
    type="content"
  doc.param

If the collection does not exists, an execption will be thrown.", name="key" optional="true" description="The key to the new value. Should only be specified if the collection is a map.", name="value" optional="false" description="The value to put into the collection."
