Generally I tend to use the java.util.Vector class if I really can not
know the size of the array before hand. Then, if I need to make an
array from it, I just use the copyInto() method after building the
array of the right type and size. For example:
java.util.Vector v=new java.util.Vector();
/// add all sorts of String object to the vector
String[] result=new String[v.size()];
v.copyInto(result);
