A more straightforward approach is to use Collection.size() and access the last element.Another possibility is to reverse the Collection with Collections.reverse() and access the first element.

You realize of course that this is rather silly since not every Collection necessarily has a "last" element. For it to have the notion of a "last" element it would have be ordered and would be a List.
