Leetcode: Merge Intervals

Given a collection of intervals, merge all overlapping intervals.
For example,
Given [1,3],[2,6],[8,10],[15,18],
return [1,6],[8,10],[15,18].

Solution:

/**
 * Definition for an interval.
 * public class Interval {
 *     int start;
 *     int end;
 *     Interval() { start = 0; end = 0; }
 *     Interval(int s, int e) { start = s; end = e; }
 * }
 */
public class Solution {
    public List<Interval> merge(List<Interval> intervals) {
        Collections.sort(intervals, new Comparator<Interval>() {
            public int compare(Interval i1, Interval i2) {
                return i1.start - i2.start;
            }
        });
        int i=1;
        while(i<intervals.size())
        {
            if (intervals.get(i-1).end >= intervals.get(i).start)
            {
                intervals.get(i-1).end = Math.max(intervals.get(i-1).end, intervals.get(i).end);
                intervals.remove(i);
            }
            else
                i++;
        }
        return intervals;
    }
    
}
