There's no point in creating an array solely for the purpose of passing it as a varargs (...) argument; varargs is an array. Simply pass the elements directly. They will be consolidated into an array automatically. Incidentally passing an array where Object ... is expected makes the intent ambiguous: Is the array supposed to be one object ora collection of objects?

Noncompliant Code Example

public void callTheThing() {
  //...
  doTheThing(new String[] { "s1", "s2"});  // Noncompliant: unnecessary
  doTheThing(new String[12]);  // Compliant
  doTheOtherThing(new String[8]);  // Noncompliant: ambiguous
  // ...
}

public void doTheThing (String ... args) {
  // ...
}

public void doTheOtherThing(Object ... args) {
  // ...
}

Compliant Solution

public void callTheThing() {
  //...
  doTheThing("s1", "s2");
  doTheThing(new String[12]);
  doTheOtherThing((Object[]) new String[8]);
   // ...
}

public void doTheThing (String ... args) {
  // ...
}

public void doTheOtherThing(Object ... args) {
  // ...
}
