我喜欢匿名类，因为它很容易处理:

public static final Map<?, ?> numbers = Collections.unmodifiableMap(new HashMap<Integer, String>() {
    {
        put(1, "some value");
                    //rest of code here
    }
});

现在Java 8已经发布了，这个问题值得重新审视。我尝试了一下——看起来也许你可以利用lambda表达式语法来获得一个非常漂亮和简洁(但类型安全)的映射文字语法，看起来像这样:

Map<String,Object> myMap = hashMap(
    bob -> 5,
    TheGimp -> 8,
    incredibleKoolAid -> "James Taylor",
    heyArnold -> new Date()
);

Map<String,Integer> typesafeMap = treeMap(
    a -> 5,
    bee -> 8,
    sea -> 13
    deep -> 21
);

未经测试的示例代码在https://gist.github.com/galdosd/10823529 会对其他人对此的看法感到好奇(这有点邪恶…)

第二个方法的一个优点是，你可以用Collections.unmodifiableMap()来包装它，以确保以后不会更新集合:

private static final Map<Integer, String> CONSTANT_MAP = 
    Collections.unmodifiableMap(new HashMap<Integer, String>() {{ 
        put(1, "one");
        put(2, "two");
    }});

 // later on...

 CONSTANT_MAP.put(3, "three"); // going to throw an exception!

我喜欢使用静态初始化“技术”，当我有一个抽象类的具体实现，它定义了一个初始化构造函数，但没有默认构造函数，但我希望我的子类有一个默认构造函数。

例如:

public abstract class Shape {

    public static final String COLOR_KEY = "color_key";
    public static final String OPAQUE_KEY = "opaque_key";

    private final String color;
    private final Boolean opaque;

    /**
     * Initializing constructor - note no default constructor.
     *
     * @param properties a collection of Shape properties
     */
    public Shape(Map<String, Object> properties) {
        color = ((String) properties.getOrDefault(COLOR_KEY, "black"));
        opaque = (Boolean) properties.getOrDefault(OPAQUE_KEY, false);
    }

    /**
     * Color property accessor method.
     *
     * @return the color of this Shape
     */
    public String getColor() {
        return color;
    }

    /**
     * Opaque property accessor method.
     *
     * @return true if this Shape is opaque, false otherwise
     */
    public Boolean isOpaque() {
        return opaque;
    }
}

以及这个类的具体实现——但它想要/需要一个默认构造函数:

public class SquareShapeImpl extends Shape {

    private static final Map<String, Object> DEFAULT_PROPS = new HashMap<>();

    static {
        DEFAULT_PROPS.put(Shape.COLOR_KEY, "yellow");
        DEFAULT_PROPS.put(Shape.OPAQUE_KEY, false);
    }

    /**
     * Default constructor -- intializes this square to be a translucent yellow
     */
    public SquareShapeImpl() {
        // the static initializer was useful here because the call to 
        // this(...) must be the first statement in this constructor
        // i.e., we can't be mucking around and creating a map here
        this(DEFAULT_PROPS);
    }

    /**
     * Initializing constructor -- create a Square with the given
     * collection of properties.
     *
     * @param props a collection of properties for this SquareShapeImpl
     */
    public SquareShapeImpl(Map<String, Object> props) {
        super(props);
    }
}

然后要使用这个默认构造函数，只需执行以下操作:

public class StaticInitDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // create a translucent, yellow square...
        Shape defaultSquare = new SquareShapeImpl();

        // etc...
    }
}

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。

注意:这个答案实际上属于问题如何直接初始化一个HashMap(在字面上)?但由于在写这篇文章时，它被标记为这篇文章的副本……

在Java 9的Map.of()之前(它也被限制为10个映射)，你可以扩展你选择的Map实现，例如:

public class InitHashMap<K, V> extends HashMap<K, V>

重新实现HashMap的构造函数:

public InitHashMap() {
    super();
}

public InitHashMap( int initialCapacity, float loadFactor ) {
    super( initialCapacity, loadFactor );
}

public InitHashMap( int initialCapacity ) {
    super( initialCapacity );
}

public InitHashMap( Map<? extends K, ? extends V> map ) {
    super( map );
}

并添加一个额外的构造函数，它受到Aerthel的答案的启发，但通过使用Object…和<K, V>类型:

public InitHashMap( final Object... keyValuePairs ) {

    if ( keyValuePairs.length % 2 != 0 )
        throw new IllegalArgumentException( "Uneven number of arguments." );

    K key = null;
    int i = -1;

    for ( final Object keyOrValue : keyValuePairs )
        switch ( ++i % 2 ) {
            case 0:  // key
                if ( keyOrValue == null )
                    throw new IllegalArgumentException( "Key[" + (i >>> 1) + "] is <null>." );
                key = (K) keyOrValue;
                continue;
            case 1:  // value
                put( key, (V) keyOrValue );
        }
}

Run

public static void main( final String[] args ) {

    final Map<Integer, String> map = new InitHashMap<>( 1, "First", 2, "Second", 3, "Third" );
    System.out.println( map );
}

输出

{1=First, 2=Second, 3=Third}

你也可以扩展Map接口:

public interface InitMap<K, V> extends Map<K, V> {

    static <K, V> Map<K, V> of( final Object... keyValuePairs ) {

        if ( keyValuePairs.length % 2 != 0 )
            throw new IllegalArgumentException( "Uneven number of arguments." );

        final Map<K, V> map = new HashMap<>( keyValuePairs.length >>> 1, .75f );
        K key = null;
        int i = -1;

        for ( final Object keyOrValue : keyValuePairs )
            switch ( ++i % 2 ) {
                case 0: // key
                    if ( keyOrValue == null )
                        throw new IllegalArgumentException( "Key[" + (i >>> 1) + "] is <null>." );
                    key = (K) keyOrValue;
                    continue;
                case 1: // value
                    map.put( key, (V) keyOrValue );
            }
        return map;
    }
}

Run

public static void main( final String[] args ) {

    System.out.println( InitMap.of( 1, "First", 2, "Second", 3, "Third" ) );
}

输出

{1=First, 2=Second, 3=Third}
