42 * Array holds static helper functions that allow you to create and
43 * manipulate arrays by reflection. Operations know how to perform widening
44 * conversions, but throw {@link IllegalArgumentException} if you attempt
45 * a narrowing conversion. Also, when accessing primitive arrays, this
46 * class performs object wrapping and unwrapping as necessary.<p>
48 * <B>Note:</B> This class returns and accepts types as Classes, even
49 * primitive types; there are Class types defined that represent each
50 * different primitive type. They are <code>java.lang.Boolean.TYPE,
51 * java.lang.Byte.TYPE,</code>, also available as <code>boolean.class,
52 * byte.class</code>, etc. These are not to be confused with the
53 * classes <code>java.lang.Boolean, java.lang.Byte</code>, etc., which are
54 * real classes. Note also that the shorthand <code>Object[].class</code>
55 * is a convenient way to get array Classes.<p>
57 * <B>Performance note:</B> This class performs best when it does not have
58 * to convert primitive types. The further along the chain it has to convert,
59 * the worse performance will be. You're best off using the array as whatever
60 * type it already is, and then converting the result. You will do even
61 * worse if you do this and use the generic set() function.
