The method falsely determined that a one-dimensional array was not an
array due to a one-off bug.

StringBuffer is a legacy synchronized class. StringBuilder is a direct replacement to StringBuffer which generally have better performance.

This was required by the Eclipse team as one precondition for the next
release.

There are two styles to convert a collection to an array: either using a pre-sized array (like c.toArray(new String[c.size()])) or using an empty array (like c.toArray(new String[0]).
In older Java versions using pre-sized array was recommended, as the reflection call which is necessary to create an array of proper size was quite slow. However since late updates of OpenJDK 6 this call was intrinsified, making the performance of the empty array version the same and sometimes even better, compared to the pre-sized version. Also passing pre-sized array is dangerous for a concurrent or synchronized collection as a data race is possible between the size and toArray call which may result in extra nulls at the end of the array, if the collection was concurrently shrunk during the operation.

Reports the manual copying of array contents which may be replaced by calls to System.arraycopy().

Reports explicit boxing, i.e. wrapping of primitive values in objects. Explicit manual boxing is unnecessary under Java 5 and newer, and can be safely removed.

Reports any String.indexOf() expressions which can be replaced with a call to the String.contains() method available in Java 5 and newer.

Reports for loops which iterate over collections or arrays, and can be replaced with an enhanced for loop (i.e. the foreach iteration syntax).
