What is the equivalent of the C++ Pair<L,R> in Java?

Is there a good reason why there is no Pair<L,R> in Java? What would be the equivalent of this C++ construct? I would rather avoid reimplementing my own.

It seems that 1.6 is providing something similar (AbstractMap.SimpleEntry<K,V>), but this looks quite convoluted.

I'm not sure a custom class would help in this case :)

"The typical reason to do so is to iterate over maps". Really?
