Java – array initializers are not allowed here

I have some model classes. I try to declare a list with them, but I get that the array initializer is not allowed here What is a simple job?

...
public class M1 extends Model {}
public class M2 extends Model {}

...
List<Model> mObj = new ArrayList<Model>({M1,M2}) //expression expected
...

Solution

In Java 8, you can use the streams API:

List<String> mObj = Stream.of("m1","m2","m3").collect(Collectors.toList());

Pre Java 8 is easy to use:

List<Model> mObj = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(m1,m2,m3));

For this information, see:
