question: final void processEntityDeclarations ( List entityDecls ) { int size = ( entityDecls != null ) ? entityDecls . size ( ) : 0 ; if ( size > 0 ) { if ( fEntities == null ) { fEntities = new HashMap ( ) ; } for ( int i = 0 ; i < size ; ++ i ) { EntityDeclaration decl = ( EntityDeclaration ) entityDecls . get ( i ) ; fEntities . put ( decl . getName ( ) , decl ) ; } } }
target:  Copies entity declarations into a hash map.
