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!

在这种情况下，我绝不会创建匿名子类。静态初始化器同样有效，如果你想让映射不可修改，例如:

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

我做了一些不同的事情。不是最好的，但对我有用。也许它可以被“泛化”。

private static final Object[][] ENTRIES =
{
  {new Integer(1), "one"},
  {new Integer(2), "two"},
};
private static final Map myMap = newMap(ENTRIES);

private static Map newMap(Object[][] entries)
{
  Map map = new HashMap();

  for (int x = 0; x < entries.length; x++)
  {
    Object[] entry = entries[x];

    map.put(entry[0], entry[1]);
  }

  return map;
}

在Java 8中，我已经开始使用以下模式:

private static final Map<String, Integer> MAP = Stream.of(
    new AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry<>("key1", 1),
    new AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry<>("key2", 2)
).collect(Collectors.toMap(Map.Entry::getKey, Map.Entry::getValue));

这不是最简洁的，有点迂回，但是

它不需要java.util之外的任何东西 它是类型安全的，很容易容纳不同类型的键和值。

你可以使用Cactoos中的StickyMap和MapEntry:

private static final Map<String, String> MAP = new StickyMap<>(
  new MapEntry<>("name", "Jeffrey"),
  new MapEntry<>("age", "35")
);

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);
        }
    }
}
