Are you saying that some other initialization class will call your setter to initialize it? And you only want that class to be able to call it? If so, there's no standard way to do it, but... you could pass in an instance of Class to the setter, and check that it's only your initializer class. So nothing else would be able to call that method.
However, as another poster said, why not just set the value in a static initializer block, and only expose a getter? You can't change the value later on while the app is running, but it didn't sound like that was needed anyway. I think this is probably the best answer, but the other possibility I mentioned is interesting if this one won't work for some reason. -- Frank W.
