WITH statement in Java

Hi all, does anyone know if there is the With Keyword in Java?

Or something similar..?

Answer 1

There is something similar with chained calls.

e.g.

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("Hello")
  .append("World")
  .reverse();

This is a common pattern with builder objects. However, it is not Java language feature.

From the Guava MapMake example

ConcurrentMap<Key, Graph> graphs = new MapMaker()
   .concurrencyLevel(4)
   .weakKeys()
   .maximumSize(10000)
   .expireAfterWrite(10, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
   .makeComputingMap(
       new Function<Key, Graph>() {
         public Graph apply(Key key) {
           return createExpensiveGraph(key);
         }
       });
