DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
It would be a wonder time-saver and performance-enhancer to overload the method putByteArray() in java.util.prefs.Preferences with the following:

public void putByteArray(byte[] array, int start, int len);

That way the developer doesn't have to make his/her byte array exactly the size of the data being saved.

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
public static void put(Preferences p,
                       byte[] array,
                       int start,
                       int len) {

byte[] shrinkyDink = new byte[len];
System.arraycopy(array, start, shrinkyDink, 0, len);
p.putByteArray(shrinkyDink);
} //Ends method put
