FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
1.8.0_05

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows 8.1 Update 1 (6.3.9600)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When passing an array to a non-static method that takes in varargs of the same type from a static context, the error message says something like:

method methodName in class Clazz cannot be applied to given types;
  required: Object[]
  found: Object[]
  reason: varargs mismatch; Object[] cannot be converted to Object

This can impede progress because it does not accurately describe the issue at hand

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 6u45

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
1.8.0_05, 1.8.0_11 both produce this bug. Higher versions not tested, some lower versions tested and do not produce this.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
public class PrimitiveVarArgs
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int[] ints = new int[]{1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
        prints(ints);
    }

    void prints(int... ints)
    {
        for(int i : ints)
            System.out.println(i);
    }
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
add "static" to the non-static method and pretend the error never happened
