[Springframework-developer] removing ObjectArrayUtils

[<jue...@we...>]

Does anyone mind if I remove ObjectArrayUtils from com.interface21.util? =
I don't really like its approach over having dozens of overloaded =
toArray methods that take all kinds of arguments and convert them to an =
Object array. What's so bad about

  new Object[] {"bla", "blabla"}

or

  new Object[] {new Integer(1), new Integer(2)}

after all? Is ObjectArrayUtils' syntax really significantly nicer, i.e.

  ObjectArrayUtils.toArray("bla", "blabla");

or

  ObjectArrayUtils.toArray(1, 2);

Given that it has to overload such an arbitrary number of argument =
signatures, I don't consider that worth it. And let's not forget that =
ObjectArrayUtils.java has 74 KB (!), the class file still 58 KB. I vote =
for removing it, any application code that uses it (if any at all) is =
very easy to convert (see above).
