第二种方法(双括号初始化)被认为是一种反模式，因此我将采用第一种方法。

另一个初始化静态Map的简单方法是使用这个实用函数:

public static <K, V> Map<K, V> mapOf(Object... keyValues) {
    Map<K, V> map = new HashMap<>(keyValues.length / 2);

    for (int index = 0; index < keyValues.length / 2; index++) {
        map.put((K)keyValues[index * 2], (V)keyValues[index * 2 + 1]);
    }

    return map;
}

Map<Integer, String> map1 = mapOf(1, "value1", 2, "value2");
Map<String, String> map2 = mapOf("key1", "value1", "key2", "value2");

注意:在Java 9中你可以使用Map.of

第二个方法可以在需要时调用受保护的方法。这对于初始化构造后不可变的类很有用。

public class Test {
    private static final Map<Integer, String> myMap;
    static {
        Map<Integer, String> aMap = ....;
        aMap.put(1, "one");
        aMap.put(2, "two");
        myMap = Collections.unmodifiableMap(aMap);
    }
}

如果我们声明了多个常量，那么代码将以静态块形式编写，并且以后很难维护。所以最好使用匿名类。

public class Test {

    public static final Map numbers = Collections.unmodifiableMap(new HashMap(2, 1.0f){
        {
            put(1, "one");
            put(2, "two");
        }
    });
}

并且建议对常量使用unmodifiableMap，否则它不能被视为常量。

如果你想要一些简洁和相对安全的东西，你可以将编译时类型检查转移到运行时:

static final Map<String, Integer> map = MapUtils.unmodifiableMap(
    String.class, Integer.class,
    "cat",  4,
    "dog",  2,
    "frog", 17
);

这个实现应该捕获任何错误:

import java.util.HashMap;

public abstract class MapUtils
{
    private MapUtils() { }

    public static <K, V> HashMap<K, V> unmodifiableMap(
            Class<? extends K> keyClazz,
            Class<? extends V> valClazz,
            Object...keyValues)
    {
        return Collections.<K, V>unmodifiableMap(makeMap(
            keyClazz,
            valClazz,
            keyValues));
    }

    public static <K, V> HashMap<K, V> makeMap(
            Class<? extends K> keyClazz,
            Class<? extends V> valClazz,
            Object...keyValues)
    {
        if (keyValues.length % 2 != 0)
        {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException(
                    "'keyValues' was formatted incorrectly!  "
                  + "(Expected an even length, but found '" + keyValues.length + "')");
        }

        HashMap<K, V> result = new HashMap<K, V>(keyValues.length / 2);

        for (int i = 0; i < keyValues.length;)
        {
            K key = cast(keyClazz, keyValues[i], i);
            ++i;
            V val = cast(valClazz, keyValues[i], i);
            ++i;
            result.put(key, val);
        }

        return result;
    }

    private static <T> T cast(Class<? extends T> clazz, Object object, int i)
    {
        try
        {
            return clazz.cast(object);
        }
        catch (ClassCastException e)
        {
            String objectName = (i % 2 == 0) ? "Key" : "Value";
            String format = "%s at index %d ('%s') wasn't assignable to type '%s'";
            throw new IllegalArgumentException(String.format(format, objectName, i, object.toString(), clazz.getSimpleName()), e);
        }
    }
}

嗯…我喜欢枚举;)

enum MyEnum {
    ONE   (1, "one"),
    TWO   (2, "two"),
    THREE (3, "three");

    int value;
    String name;

    MyEnum(int value, String name) {
        this.value = value;
        this.name = name;
    }

    static final Map<Integer, String> MAP = Stream.of( values() )
            .collect( Collectors.toMap( e -> e.value, e -> e.name ) );
}

使用Eclipse Collections，以下所有功能都可以工作:

import java.util.Map;

import org.eclipse.collections.api.map.ImmutableMap;
import org.eclipse.collections.api.map.MutableMap;
import org.eclipse.collections.impl.factory.Maps;

public class StaticMapsTest
{
    private static final Map<Integer, String> MAP =
        Maps.mutable.with(1, "one", 2, "two");

    private static final MutableMap<Integer, String> MUTABLE_MAP =
       Maps.mutable.with(1, "one", 2, "two");


    private static final MutableMap<Integer, String> UNMODIFIABLE_MAP =
        Maps.mutable.with(1, "one", 2, "two").asUnmodifiable();


    private static final MutableMap<Integer, String> SYNCHRONIZED_MAP =
        Maps.mutable.with(1, "one", 2, "two").asSynchronized();


    private static final ImmutableMap<Integer, String> IMMUTABLE_MAP =
        Maps.mutable.with(1, "one", 2, "two").toImmutable();


    private static final ImmutableMap<Integer, String> IMMUTABLE_MAP2 =
        Maps.immutable.with(1, "one", 2, "two");
}

您还可以使用Eclipse Collections静态地初始化原始映射。

import org.eclipse.collections.api.map.primitive.ImmutableIntObjectMap;
import org.eclipse.collections.api.map.primitive.MutableIntObjectMap;
import org.eclipse.collections.impl.factory.primitive.IntObjectMaps;

public class StaticPrimitiveMapsTest
{
    private static final MutableIntObjectMap<String> MUTABLE_INT_OBJ_MAP =
            IntObjectMaps.mutable.<String>empty()
                    .withKeyValue(1, "one")
                    .withKeyValue(2, "two");

    private static final MutableIntObjectMap<String> UNMODIFIABLE_INT_OBJ_MAP =
            IntObjectMaps.mutable.<String>empty()
                    .withKeyValue(1, "one")
                    .withKeyValue(2, "two")
                    .asUnmodifiable();

    private static final MutableIntObjectMap<String> SYNCHRONIZED_INT_OBJ_MAP =
            IntObjectMaps.mutable.<String>empty()
                    .withKeyValue(1, "one")
                    .withKeyValue(2, "two")
                    .asSynchronized();

    private static final ImmutableIntObjectMap<String> IMMUTABLE_INT_OBJ_MAP =
            IntObjectMaps.mutable.<String>empty()
                    .withKeyValue(1, "one")
                    .withKeyValue(2, "two")
                    .toImmutable();

    private static final ImmutableIntObjectMap<String> IMMUTABLE_INT_OBJ_MAP2 =
            IntObjectMaps.immutable.<String>empty()
                    .newWithKeyValue(1, "one")
                    .newWithKeyValue(2, "two");
}
