Compact way to create Guava Multimaps?

Why aren't you using ArrayListMultimap.create() for such a simple case? It's the default way to create the simple HashMap/ArrayList that is probably the most common used multimap.

I run into this problem when writing clients and building up maps of query params. A nice succinct pattern I like for constructing multi-maps is to use ImmutableMultiMap#builder

Multimap<String, String> queryParams = 
  ImmutableMultimap.<String, String>builder()
    .put("key-1", "value-1")
    .put("key-1", "value-2")
    .build();
