Not satisfied by the Answer? Still looking for a better solution?

Is there a Java equivalent or methodology for the typedef keyword in C++?

Coming from a C and C++ background, I found judicious use of typedef to be incredibly helpful. Do you know of a way to achieve similar functionality in Java, whether that be a Java mechanism, pattern, or some other effective way you have used?

If this is what you mean, you can simply extend the class you would like to typedef, e.g.:

public class MyMap extends HashMap<String, String> {}
