The 2x capacity gap was noticed by real users!

Hi Martin,

the MAX_ARRAY_SIZE code now is copied to many places in JDK. Couldn't you better centralize the code to one place, e.g. j.u.Arrays or some hidden class of sun.java...?
Isn't there a property to retrieve MAX_ARRAY_SIZE from the running VM?

Imagine, some VM throws OOME above Integer.MAX_VALUE-4 and minCapacity is 
Integer.MAX_VALUE-4.
With this code a OOME will happen:
 124         return (minCapacity > MAX_ARRAY_SIZE) ?
 125             Integer.MAX_VALUE :
 126             MAX_ARRAY_SIZE;
With this code we would avoid the OOME:
 124         return (minCapacity > MAX_ARRAY_SIZE) ?
 125             minCapacity :
 126             MAX_ARRAY_SIZE;
