JDK 9 List.of(...)

		// JDK 9      写法: List.of(...)
//		List<Point> polygon = List.of(new Point(0, 0), new Point(0, 4), new Point(4, 4), new Point(4, 0));

		// JDK 1.6 写法：使用ArrayList并手动add元素
		List<Point> polygon = new ArrayList<Point>();
		polygon.add(new Point(0, 0));
		polygon.add(new Point(0, 4));
		polygon.add(new Point(4, 4));
		polygon.add(new Point(4, 0));

没有什么为什么，一方面以前做的项目1.6 1.8 要兼容，另一方面代码习惯，明了比简洁还要重要。
