对于争论，我认为不需要。大多数情况下，它们只会损害可读性。重新分配一个参数变量是如此疯狂的愚蠢，我应该相当有信心，他们可以被视为常量。

Eclipse将最终结果显示为红色，这使得在代码中更容易发现变量声明，我认为这在大多数情况下提高了可读性。

我试图强制执行规则，任何和所有变量都应该是最终的，没有一个非常有效的理由不这样做。如果你只需要找到初始化并确信这就是初始化，那么回答“这个变量是什么?”的问题就容易得多了。

实际上，我现在对非最终变量相当紧张。这就像把刀挂在你的头上，还是把它放在厨房抽屉里的区别……

final变量是标记值的好方法。

一个非最终变量被绑定到一些容易出错的算法的一部分。

一个很好的特性是，当一个算法无法选择使用变量时，大多数情况下解决方案是编写一个方法，这通常会显著改善代码。

另一个注意事项是，许多人将final混淆为实例变量的内容不能更改，而不是引用不能更改。

我设置Eclipse在所有未修改的字段和属性上添加final。使用Eclipse“save actions”在保存文件时添加这些最终修饰符(以及其他东西)，效果非常好。

强烈推荐。

请查看我关于Eclipse Save Actions的博客文章。

Even for local variables, knowing that it is declared final means that I don't need to worry about the reference being changed later on. This means that when debugging and I see that variable later on, I am confident that it is referring to the same object. That is one less thing I need to worry about when looking for a bug. A bonus is that if 99% of variables are declared final, then the few variables which really are variable stand out better. Also, the final lets the compiler find some more possible stupid mistakes that might otherwise go unnoticed.

将类标记为final还可以使一些方法绑定发生在编译时而不是运行时。 考虑下面的“v2.foo()”——编译器知道B不能有子类，所以foo()不能被重写，所以要调用的实现在编译时是已知的。如果类B没有被标记为final，那么v2的实际类型可能是某个扩展B并重写foo()的类。

class A {
    void foo() {
        //do something
    }
}
final class B extends A {
    void foo() {
    }
}
class Test {
    public void t(A v1, B v2) {
        v1.foo();
        v2.foo();
    }
}

为:

Final fields - Marking fields as final forces them to be set by end of construction, making that field reference immutable. This allows safe publication of fields and can avoid the need for synchronization on later reads. (Note that for an object reference, only the field reference is immutable - things that object reference refers to can still change and that affects the immutability.) Final static fields - Although I use enums now for many of the cases where I used to use static final fields.

考虑但审慎地使用:

最终类——框架/API设计是我唯一考虑的情况。 Final方法——基本上与Final类相同。如果你疯狂地使用模板方法模式，并把东西标记为final，你可能太依赖继承而不是委托。

忽略，除非感觉肛门:

Method parameters and local variables - I RARELY do this largely because I'm lazy and I find it clutters the code. I will fully admit that marking parameters and local variables that I'm not going to modify is "righter". I wish it was the default. But it isn't and I find the code more difficult to understand with finals all over. If I'm in someone else's code, I'm not going to pull them out but if I'm writing new code I won't put them in. One exception is the case where you have to mark something final so you can access it from within an anonymous inner class.
