匿名内部类中的方法可以在生成该类的线程终止后调用。在您的示例中，内部类将在事件分派线程上调用，而不是在创建它的线程中调用。因此，变量的作用域是不同的。所以为了保护这样的变量赋值范围问题，你必须声明它们为final。

也许这个把戏能给你启发

Boolean var= new anonymousClass(){
    private String myVar; //String for example
    @Overriden public Boolean method(int i){
          //use myVar and i
    }
    public String setVar(String var){myVar=var; return this;} //Returns self instane
}.setVar("Hello").method(3);

试试这段代码，

创建数组列表并将值放入其中并返回:

private ArrayList f(Button b, final int a)
{
    final ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
    b.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {

         @Override
        public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
             int b = a*5;
             al.add(b);
        }
    });
    return al;
}

匿名类是一个内部类，严格的规则适用于内部类(JLS 8.1.3):

任何在内部类中使用但未声明的局部变量、形式方法参数或异常处理程序参数必须声明为final。在内部类中使用但未声明的任何局部变量必须明确地在内部类的主体之前赋值。

我还没有在jls或jvm上找到一个原因或解释，但我们知道，编译器为每个内部类创建了一个单独的类文件，它必须确保，在这个类文件上声明的方法(在字节码级别上)至少可以访问局部变量的值。

(Jon有完整的答案-我保留这一个未删除，因为有人可能对JLS规则感兴趣)

private void f(Button b, final int a[]) {

    b.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
            a[0] = a[0] * 5;

        }
    });
}

正如注释中提到的，其中一些在Java 8中变得无关紧要，在Java 8中final可以是隐式的。但是，只有有效的final变量才能用于匿名内部类或lambda表达式。

这主要是由于Java管理闭包的方式。

When you create an instance of an anonymous inner class, any variables which are used within that class have their values copied in via the autogenerated constructor. This avoids the compiler having to autogenerate various extra types to hold the logical state of the "local variables", as for example the C# compiler does... (When C# captures a variable in an anonymous function, it really captures the variable - the closure can update the variable in a way which is seen by the main body of the method, and vice versa.)

As the value has been copied into the instance of the anonymous inner class, it would look odd if the variable could be modified by the rest of the method - you could have code which appeared to be working with an out-of-date variable (because that's effectively what would be happening... you'd be working with a copy taken at a different time). Likewise if you could make changes within the anonymous inner class, developers might expect those changes to be visible within the body of the enclosing method.

Making the variable final removes all these possibilities - as the value can't be changed at all, you don't need to worry about whether such changes will be visible. The only ways to allow the method and the anonymous inner class see each other's changes is to use a mutable type of some description. This could be the enclosing class itself, an array, a mutable wrapper type... anything like that. Basically it's a bit like communicating between one method and another: changes made to the parameters of one method aren't seen by its caller, but changes made to the objects referred to by the parameters are seen.

如果您对Java和c#闭包之间更详细的比较感兴趣，我有一篇文章对此进行了进一步的讨论。在这个答案中，我想专注于Java方面:)
