Joel,
The spec of the getFields and getDeclaredFields() methods both states this:
This method returns an array of length 0 if the class
or interface declares no fields, or if this|Class| object
represents a primitive type, an array class, or void.
The spec of the getDeclaredField() method has this sentence:
Note that this method will not reflect the {@code length}
field of an array class.
Your change is okay and it would be good to keep the getField(s)
and getDeclaredField(s) methods be consistent and states its
return value "if this|Class| object represents a primitive type,
an array class, or void"

This is a spec change to update the spec to match the long-standing
implementation.
There is also a clarification of getFields() javadoc without changing the
spec.
