Replace google-collect Lists.newArrayList() with other List

using Eclipse Luna I am trying to run a java code which imports deprecated google-collections, which is throwing an exception when compiled with latest Guava version.

public static void run(String consumerKey, String consumerSecret, String token, String secret) throws InterruptedException
{

    BlockingQueue<String> queue = new LinkedBlockingQueue<String>(10000);
    StatusesFilterEndpoint endpoint = new StatusesFilterEndpoint();
    endpoint.trackTerms(Lists.newArrayList("twitterapi", "#AAPSweep"));
    Authentication auth = new OAuth1(consumerKey, consumerSecret, token, secret);

    Client client = new ClientBuilder()
    .hosts(Constants.STREAM_HOST)
    .endpoint(endpoint)
    .authentication(auth)
    .processor(new StringDelimitedProcessor(queue))
    .build();

    client.connect();

I have tried to remove com.google.guava_15.0.0.v201403281430 file from plugins and tried to paste Guava old version as told here in a comment but i am unable to install(point) towards old guava version. Also there could be another solution for this problem here but I am new to java and dont know how to replace that List with other one.

Please is there any one can run that code using other List method ? OR Tell me how to add older version of Guava in eclipse (I am not sure that would solve that problem just read it from a thread) OR Tell me other solution. Thank you

Solution

  • The Guava Lists.newArrayList is just a short-hand to create a standard JDK ArrayList and fill it with predefined values. You can do this in a little longer way without any third-party library using Arrays.asList:

    endpoint.trackTerms(new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList("twitterapi", "#AAPSweep")));

    Or even simpler if you don't need the structural changes in the created list:

    endpoint.trackTerms(Arrays.asList("twitterapi", "#AAPSweep"));
