JEP 186: Collection Literals

[Moshe Sayag]

1. What is the exact meaning of:

List<Integer> list = #[ 1, 2, 3 ];

Will 'list' be an ArrayList, a LinkedList or an immutable list?

2. Java already has the curly brackets {...} to construct an array.

int[] array = { 1, 2, 3 };

How will the new literal go with it?
Will we have:

int[] array = #[ 1, 2, 3 ];

What about

List<Integer> list = { 1, 2, 3 };
