Creating prepopulated set in Java [duplicate]

Question

In Java, how do I create a final Set that's populated at construction? I want to do something like the following:

static final Set<Integer> NECESSARY_PERMISSIONS      = new HashSet<Integer>([1,2,3,6]); 

but I don't know the proper syntax in Java.

Answer 1

Try this idiom:

import java.util.Arrays;  new HashSet<Integer>(Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 6))
