Double brace initialization generates an unknown class received from the designated class (the outside braces) and gives an initializer segment inside that class (the internal braces). e.g.

new ArrayList<Integer>() {{

   add(1);

   add(2);

}};

Note that the impact of practicing this double brace initialization is that you're planning anonymous inner classes. The generated class has an absolute this pointer to the enclosing outer class.
