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

JDK2

List list = Arrays.asList("one", "two", "three");

JDK7

//diamond operator
List list = new ArrayList<>();
list.add("one");
list.add("two");
list.add("three");

JDK8

List list = Stream.of("one", "two", "three").collect(Collectors.toList());

JDK9

List list = List.of("one", "two", "three");

Plus there are lots of other ways supplied by other libraries like Guava.
