A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
* Add E[] toArray(Class<T>) so that an array instance (like (Foo[])toArray(new Foo[0]) is not required). Get rid of E[] toArray(E[]).
JUSTIFICATION :
This is one of many RFEs produced from a community discussion at
http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=143. Further
justification could typically be found at the given link or off a
thread listed at the given link.
Why does one need to have an array instance for toArray (??). I see this as a deficiency in obtaining the class representation of an int array. Almost _every_ time i've seen toArray being used or being used by myself there has been a zero length array. E[] toArray(Class<E> classType) should be sufficent.
