java - Populating a List with a contiguous range of integers

Question

I'd like to have a list which contains the integers in the range 1 to 500. Is there some way to create this list using Guava (or just plain Java) without having to loop through the range and add the values individually within my own code?

Answer 1

The new, Java 8 way:

List<Integer> range = IntStream.range(1, 501).boxed().collect(Collectors.toList());
