Question

I wanted to create a list of options for testing purposes. At first, I did this:

ArrayList places = new ArrayList();
places.add(\         


        

Answer 1

With Guava you can write:

ArrayList places = Lists.newArrayList("Buenos Aires", "Córdoba", "La Plata");

In Guava there are also other useful static constructors. You can read about them here.
