initializing a Guava ImmutableMap

Notice that your error message only contains five K, V pairs, 10 arguments total. This is by design; the ImmutableMap class provides six different of() methods, accepting between zero and five key-value pairings. There is not an of(...) overload accepting a varags parameter because K and V can be different types.

You want an ImmutableMap.Builder:

ImmutableMap<String,String> myMap = ImmutableMap.<String, String>builder()
    .put("key1", "value1") 
    .put("key2", "value2") 
    .put("key3", "value3") 
    .put("key4", "value4") 
    .put("key5", "value5") 
    .put("key6", "value6") 
    .put("key7", "value7") 
    .put("key8", "value8") 
    .put("key9", "value9")
    .build();
