This is not helpful because I want to add the abbreviation
programmatically, that is to say automatically every time I run Emacs.

C-h f add-mode-abbrev says:

Don't use this function in a Lisp program; use `define-abbrev'
instead.

I am stuck because I don't know how to get java-mode-abbrev-table into
my custom mode.

Please help me!
