Yep. That was the fundamental failure, caused by the whole "write once" 
marketing campaign.

It has documentation. It just mixes it in with the online forum. I think you 
have to chose to install it locally, tho, which is what you might be seeing.

It makes perfect sense in context. It's just absurdly verbose.

What would be in C#

   var z = from y select z where z.id = myID

in java becomes

   List<OrganizationIndividualRelationshipEntity> z =
     Lists.ImmutableCopyOf(
       Lists.filter(y, new 
Predicate<List<OrganizationIndividualRelationshipEntity>() {
      @override boolean apply(OrganizationIndividualRelationshipEntity x) {
      return x.id = myID;
      }
     }
     )
     }

I've lost track of closing braces....
     )
