[JDK-8061402] Constant pool entries for arrays - Java Bug System

Type: Enhancement

The bytecode we generate to initialize an array filled with constants
is very verbose. It could be simplified considerably if there
were a way to express a constant array in the constant pool.
It would be best if there were a way to express such arrays
containing primitive types, constant Strings, and null.
