你可以从获取流List并将其放入TreeSet其中，从中提供一个唯一比较ID的自定义比较器。

然后，如果你确实需要一个列表，则可以将该集合放回到ArrayList中。

import static java.util.Comparator.comparingInt;
import static java.util.stream.Collectors.collectingAndThen;
import static java.util.stream.Collectors.toCollection;

...
List<Employee> unique = employee.stream()
                                .collect(collectingAndThen(toCollection(() -> new TreeSet<>(comparingInt(Employee::getId))),
                                                           ArrayList::new));

给出示例：

List<Employee> employee = Arrays.asList(new Employee(1, "John"), new Employee(1, "Bob"), new Employee(2, "Alice"));

它将输出：

[Employee{id=1, name='John'}, Employee{id=2, name='Alice'}]

另一个想法可能是使用包装员工的包装器，并使用基于其id的equals和hashcode方法：

class WrapperEmployee {
    private Employee e;

    public WrapperEmployee(Employee e) {
        this.e = e;
    }

    public Employee unwrap() {
        return this.e;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object o) {
        if (this == o) return true;
        if (o == null || getClass() != o.getClass()) return false;
        WrapperEmployee that = (WrapperEmployee) o;
        return Objects.equals(e.getId(), that.e.getId());
    }

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        return Objects.hash(e.getId());
    }
}

然后包装每个实例，调用distinct()，解开它们并将结果收集在列表中。

List<Employee> unique = employee.stream()
                                .map(WrapperEmployee::new)
                                .distinct()
                                .map(WrapperEmployee::unwrap)
                                .collect(Collectors.toList());

实际上，我认为你可以通过提供进行比较的函数来使此包装器通用：

class Wrapper<T, U> {
    private T t;
    private Function<T, U> equalityFunction;

    public Wrapper(T t, Function<T, U> equalityFunction) {
        this.t = t;
        this.equalityFunction = equalityFunction;
    }

    public T unwrap() {
        return this.t;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object o) {
        if (this == o) return true;
        if (o == null || getClass() != o.getClass()) return false;
        @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
        Wrapper<T, U> that = (Wrapper<T, U>) o;
        return Objects.equals(equalityFunction.apply(this.t), that.equalityFunction.apply(that.t));
    }

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        return Objects.hash(equalityFunction.apply(this.t));
    }
}

映射将是：

.map(e -> new Wrapper<>(e, Employee::getId))
