Fair enough, and I agree. Though the least we could do is rotate in a Windows env, where Java runs with -client, to our Jenkins.
But simple-to-follow rules like "Don't use Arrays.copyOf; use System.arraycopy instead" (if indeed System.arraycopy seems to generally not be slower) seem like a no-brainer. Why risk Arrays.copyOf, anytime? Shouldn't we never use it...?
