The provided code contains several syntax issues, and its current form will not compile. Let’s first break this down and analyze what it is intended to do, pointing out the issues and explaining them.

Here’s the breakdown of what the code should potentially achieve (if corrected):

1. Class declaration

The class MyDerivedType is defined, indicating that it will encapsulate some behavior or logic, in this case involving static initialization of a map.

2. Static final map field

The static field vMap is defined as a Map with keys of type String and values of type MyDerivedType. Declaring it as static final means this map will be a shared, immutable collection for all instances of the class.

private static final Map<String, MyDerivedType> vMap;

3. Initialization with Stream operations

The initialization logic appears to aim at constructing a LinkedHashMap (a map that keeps insertion order). The code attempts to:

• Generate a stream from an enum class MyOrigEnum.
• Use Collectors.toMap to populate the map.
• The map's keys are derived by concatenating the result of calling e.getValue() on the enum values with a trailing space.
• The map's values are new instances of MyDerivedType, created using the constructor reference MyDerivedType::new.
• (e1, e2) -> e2 resolves any key collisions by retaining the second value.
• The map is implemented as a LinkedHashMap.

Stream.of(MyOrigEnum.values())
    .collect(Collectors.toMap(
        e -> e.getValue() + " ",  // Generates map keys from enum values plus a space
        MyDerivedType::new,       // Map values are created by calling the MyDerivedType constructor
        (e1, e2) -> e2,           // Resolves duplicate keys by preferring the second value
        LinkedHashMap::new        // Constructs a LinkedHashMap to preserve order
    ));

---

4. Problems in the code

Several issues exist in the provided code snippet:

a. Improper usage of Stream,of

The code wrongly uses Stream,of. This appears to be a typo and should likely be Stream.of.

Corrected line:

private static final Map<String, MyDerivedType> vMap = Stream.of(MyOrigEnum.values())
    .collect(Collectors.toMap(e -> e.getValue() + " ", MyDerivedType::new, (e1, e2) -> e2, LinkedHashMap::new));

---

b. Dependency on MyOrigEnum and getValue

The code references MyOrigEnum.values() and e.getValue(). This suggests that:

• MyOrigEnum is an enum class elsewhere in the codebase.
• Each enum constant has a method getValue(), which is assumed to return a String (or something that converts to String).

If MyOrigEnum or getValue is not defined, this will cause errors.

---

c. Misplaced parentheses

The parentheses in e -> e.getValue() + " " are correct, but overall readability may be affected. It is worth double-checking such syntax when debugging.

---

d. Constructor reference compatibility

The constructor reference MyDerivedType::new assumes that MyDerivedType can directly accept a parameter of the type returned by e.getValue(). If the constructor does not match this expectation, compilation will fail.

---

5. Explanation of intended behavior

If corrected, the code does the following:

• Uses all constants in the MyOrigEnum enumeration.
• Creates a map where:
  • Keys are the result of calling getValue() on the enum constants, with a trailing space appended.
  • Values are new instances of MyDerivedType, constructed based on the same constants.
• Ensures that insertion order is preserved by using a LinkedHashMap.
• Resolves any key collisions in the map by keeping the second value ((e1, e2) -> e2).

---

Corrected Code:

class MyDerivedType {
  private static final Map<String, MyDerivedType> vMap = 
      Stream.of(MyOrigEnum.values())
            .collect(Collectors.toMap(
                e -> e.getValue() + " ",  // Key: enum value + trailing space
                MyDerivedType::new,       // Value: new MyDerivedType instance
                (e1, e2) -> e2,           // Key collision resolver: keep the second value
                LinkedHashMap::new        // Use LinkedHashMap to preserve order
            ));
}

---

Examples:

1. Assume MyOrigEnum is:

enum MyOrigEnum {
    ONE, TWO, THREE;

    public String getValue() {
        return name().toLowerCase();
    }
}

2. MyDerivedType constructor:

public MyDerivedType(MyOrigEnum value) {
    // Your constructor logic here
}

3. Resulting map:

The map vMap might look like this:

{
 "one ": MyDerivedType(ONE),
 "two ": MyDerivedType(TWO),
 "three ": MyDerivedType(THREE)
}
