The book Java Generics and Collections has this information (pages: 188, 211, 222, 240).

List implementations:

                      get  add  contains next remove(0) iterator.remove
ArrayList             O(1) O(1) O(n)     O(1) O(n)      O(n)
LinkedList            O(n) O(1) O(n)     O(1) O(1)      O(1)
CopyOnWrite-ArrayList O(1) O(n) O(n)     O(1) O(n)      O(n)

Set implementations:

                      add      contains next     notes
HashSet               O(1)     O(1)     O(h/n)   h is the table capacity
LinkedHashSet         O(1)     O(1)     O(1) 
CopyOnWriteArraySet   O(n)     O(n)     O(1) 
EnumSet               O(1)     O(1)     O(1) 
TreeSet               O(log n) O(log n) O(log n)
ConcurrentSkipListSet O(log n) O(log n) O(1)

Map implementations:

                      get      containsKey next     Notes
HashMap               O(1)     O(1)        O(h/n)   h is the table capacity
LinkedHashMap         O(1)     O(1)        O(1) 
IdentityHashMap       O(1)     O(1)        O(h/n)   h is the table capacity 
EnumMap               O(1)     O(1)        O(1) 
TreeMap               O(log n) O(log n)    O(log n) 
ConcurrentHashMap     O(1)     O(1)        O(h/n)   h is the table capacity 
ConcurrentSkipListMap O(log n) O(log n)    O(1)

Queue implementations:

                      offer    peek poll     size
PriorityQueue         O(log n) O(1) O(log n) O(1)
ConcurrentLinkedQueue O(1)     O(1) O(1)     O(n)
ArrayBlockingQueue    O(1)     O(1) O(1)     O(1)
LinkedBlockingQueue   O(1)     O(1) O(1)     O(1)
PriorityBlockingQueue O(log n) O(1) O(log n) O(1)
DelayQueue            O(log n) O(1) O(log n) O(1)
LinkedList            O(1)     O(1) O(1)     O(1)
ArrayDeque            O(1)     O(1) O(1)     O(1)
LinkedBlockingDeque   O(1)     O(1) O(1)     O(1)

The bottom of the javadoc for the java.util package contains some good links:

• Collections Overview has a nice summary table.
• Annotated Outline lists all of the implementations on one page.
