Most welcome!
The one-liner I use is
new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(1,2,3));
but it goes on my nerves.
On a side note, I would be interested in the history of var-args in
this context - in the tiger release we were given var-args and at the
same time shunned away from arrays. Was List considered for varargs?
Nowadays I code many methods twice:
void f(X...x) {
f(Arrays.asList(x));
}
void f(List<X> x) {
...
}
