All HashMap has is putAll and put. putAll wants a Map, which puts you back to where you started. put wants pairs. So just use static init code with a loop to feed the HashMap pairs that you specified in an array or with inline code to put. -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products http://mindprod.com Responsible Development is the style of development I aspire to now.

That can't be done with Enum, EnumMap, or code that works with them. The original poster mentioned having large sets of definitions of Colors so I think a design using Enum would run into future problems. If Enums were to be used for declaration of data that may later become dynamic, I'd transfer them to a Map that had keys and values that aren't Enums. Unfortunately the code isn't so clean now. Two classes must be defined and they're both public. import java.awt.Color; import java.util.Collections; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map; public interface FooColor { enum NamedColorSet { Black (new Color(0, 0, 0)), Obscure_Gray (new Color(51, 51, 51)), Dark_Gray (new Color(102, 102, 102)), Light_Gray (new Color(153, 153, 153)), Pale_Gray (new Color(204, 204, 204)), White (new Color(255, 255, 255)); public final Color color; NamedColorSet (Color c) { color= c; } } public static final Map<String, Color> EIGHT_BIT_COLORS = Collections.unmodifiableMap(new HashMap<String, Color>() { { for (NamedColorSet n : NamedColorSet.values()) put (n.name(), n.color); } }); } -- I won't see Google Groups replies because I must filter them as spam
