Union or intersection of Java Sets

The simplest one-line solution is this:

set1.addAll(set2); // Union

set1.retainAll(set2); // Intersection

The above solution is destructive, meaning that contents of the original set1 my change.
If you don’t want to touch your existing sets, create a new set:

Set<E> result = new HashSet<>(set1);
 // └─ your specific type

result.addAll(set2); // Union

result.retainAll(set2); // Intersection
