is there a better alternative to List<T> initalization than invoking Arrays.asList?
<p>Is there a better alternative to using Arrays.asList as a List bulk initializer?  Of concern is that this one is verbose and involves an extraneous class and method.</p>

<pre><code>List&lt;Double&gt; myList = new ArrayList&lt;Double&gt;(Arrays.asList(3.01d, 4.02d, 5.03d));
</code></pre>

<p>Edit: This question pertains to a bulk initialization which would usually have more than the three values shown in the example.</p>
