为事件监听器使用匿名本地类等是Java中的常见模式。 final关键字最常见的用法是确保偶数侦听器可以访问作用域内的变量。

但是，如果您发现自己被要求在代码中放入大量的最终语句。这可能是你做错事的好暗示。

上面的文章给出了这样一个例子:

public void doSomething(int i, int j) {
    final int n = i + j; // must be declared final

    Comparator comp = new Comparator() {
        public int compare(Object left, Object right) {
            return n; // return copy of a local variable
        }
    };
}

听起来，反对使用最后一个关键字的最大论点之一是“这是不必要的”，而且它“浪费空间”。

如果我们承认“final”的许多好处，同时承认它需要更多的输入和空间，我认为Java应该默认将变量设置为“final”，并且如果编码器想要的话，就要求将变量标记为“mutable”。

为:

Final fields - Marking fields as final forces them to be set by end of construction, making that field reference immutable. This allows safe publication of fields and can avoid the need for synchronization on later reads. (Note that for an object reference, only the field reference is immutable - things that object reference refers to can still change and that affects the immutability.) Final static fields - Although I use enums now for many of the cases where I used to use static final fields.

考虑但审慎地使用:

最终类——框架/API设计是我唯一考虑的情况。 Final方法——基本上与Final类相同。如果你疯狂地使用模板方法模式，并把东西标记为final，你可能太依赖继承而不是委托。

忽略，除非感觉肛门:

Method parameters and local variables - I RARELY do this largely because I'm lazy and I find it clutters the code. I will fully admit that marking parameters and local variables that I'm not going to modify is "righter". I wish it was the default. But it isn't and I find the code more difficult to understand with finals all over. If I'm in someone else's code, I'm not going to pull them out but if I'm writing new code I won't put them in. One exception is the case where you have to mark something final so you can access it from within an anonymous inner class.

Final应该总是用于常量。当定义变量的规则很复杂时，它甚至对于短期存在的变量(在单个方法中)也很有用。

例如:

final int foo;
if (a)
    foo = 1;
else if (b)
    foo = 2;
else if (c)
    foo = 3;
if (d)        // Compile error:  forgot the 'else'
    foo = 4;
else
    foo = -1;

我从不在局部变量上使用它们，没有什么意义。即使您不认为变量应该被重新赋值，这对于下一个改变代码的人来说也没有什么区别，而且由于代码正在被更改，任何使其最终的原始目的都可能不再有效。如果只是为了清晰，我认为它失败了，因为冗长的负面影响。

对于成员变量也是如此，因为它们提供的好处很少，除了常量的情况。

它也与不可变无关，因为不可变的最好指标是它被这样记录并且/或没有可以改变对象的方法(这与使类为final是保证它是不可变的唯一方法)。

但是，嘿，这只是我的观点:-)

I have to read a lot of code for my job. Missing final on instance variables is one of the top things to annoy me and makes understanding the code unnecessarily difficult. For my money, final on local variables causes more clutter than clarity. The language should have been designed to make that the default, but we have to live with the mistake. Sometimes it is useful particularly with loops and definite assignment with an if-else tree, but mostly it tends to indicate your method is too complicated.
