What is the shortest way to initialize List of strings in java?

Question

I am searching for the shortest way (in code) to initialize list of strings and array of strings, i.e. list/array containing \"s1\", \"s2\", \"s3\" string elements.

Answer 1

List stringList = Arrays.asList("s1", "s2", "s3");

All these objects exists in the JDK.

PS: As aioobe stated, this makes the list fixed-sized.
