In Java, i like to use constructs such as

List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>() {{add('foo');}};

I think what you want is an array initializer

List<string> list = new List<string>() { 'foo' };

Multiple items should be comma-separated

List<string> list = new List<string>() { 'foo','bar','bas'};
