Initializing a static container

January 31, 2006 · Programming

Discussing with various researchers and developers i recently realized that many of them do not know the existence of the static initializer in a Class body. Here is an example how we can use it to initialize a static container.

public class StaticContainerExample {
	public final static Vector v;

	static {
		v = new Vector();
		v.add("1");
		v.add("2");
		v.add("3");
	}
}
