I believe an EMPTY_ARRAY singleton would be even more useful than the already-
existing EMPTY_SET, EMPTY_MAP, or EMPTY_LIST singletons. The declaration I am
thinking of is:
    public static final Object[] EMPTY_ARRAY = { };

Here are some core classes in JDK that already use their own copies of
EMPTY_ARRAY.

javax.swing.filechooser.WindowsFileSystemView
javax.swing.filechooser.UnixFileSystemView
javax.swing.filechooser.GenericFileSystemView
javax.swing.JComboBox
javax.swing.JList
javax.swing.event.EventListenerList
javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode
