Whilst this isn t strictly an answer to this question I think it s useful   Arrays and Collections can bother be converted to Iterable which can avoid the need for performing a hard conversion   For instance I wrote this to join lists arrays of stuff into a string with a seperator  public static  lt T gt  String join Iterable lt T gt  collection  String delimiter        Iterator lt T gt  iterator   collection iterator        if   iterator hasNext            return          StringBuilder builder   new StringBuilder         T thisVal   iterator next        builder append thisVal    null      thisVal toString          while  iterator hasNext              thisVal   iterator next            builder append delimiter           builder append thisVal    null      thisVal toString                return builder toString        Using iterable means you can either feed in an ArrayList or similar aswell as using it with a String    parameter without having to convert either
