- Subject: FYI: Patch: java.lang.reflect.Array
Hi list,
I commited the attached patch which merges the documentation from classpath.
The method implementations are still the same as before.

/**
+ * Array holds static helper functions that allow you to create and
+ * manipulate arrays by reflection. Operations know how to perform widening
+ * conversions, but throw {@link IllegalArgumentException} if you attempt
+ * a narrowing conversion. Also, when accessing primitive arrays, this
+ * class performs object wrapping and unwrapping as necessary.<p>
+ *
+ * <B>Note:</B> This class returns and accepts types as Classes, even
+ * primitive types; there are Class types defined that represent each
+ * different primitive type. They are <code>java.lang.Boolean.TYPE,
+ * java.lang.Byte.TYPE,</code>, also available as <code>boolean.class,
+ * byte.class</code>, etc. These are not to be confused with the
+ * classes <code>java.lang.Boolean, java.lang.Byte</code>, etc., which are
+ * real classes. Note also that the shorthand <code>Object[].class</code>
+ * is a convenient way to get array Classes.<p>
+ *
+ * <B>Performance note:</B> This class performs best when it does not have
+ * to convert primitive types. The further along the chain it has to convert,
+ * the worse performance will be. You're best off using the array as whatever
+ * type it already is, and then converting the result. You will do even
+ * worse if you do this and use the generic set() function.
