So I put it all together in 1.5:

String sArray[] = new String[2];
sArray[0] = "mark";
sArray[1] = "is cool";
sArray.getClass().getSimpleName();

this returns:  String[]

I guess the java team has spoken.  I suggest deleting since 1.5 has an 
alternative...

 I still think I would rather have just the name and no brackets, however.   
For my use I would have to do some additional editing.  I am sending in an 
Object[] or an Object into a method and need the same behavior for both.  

This failed when I sent in an array:

protected void createXML(XStream xStream, PrintWriter pw, Object o) {
                pw.write("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>");
                xStream.alias(ClassUtils.getShortClassName(o, null), 
o.getClass());
                xStream.toXML(o, pw);
}

So I changed it to this:

protected void createXML(XStream xStream, PrintWriter pw, Object o, Class c) {
                pw.write("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>");
                xStream.alias(ClassUtils.getShortClassName(c), c);
                xStream.toXML(o, pw);
}

Not a big change, but it is something..
