Hi,
I just had a look at the new EnumSet in v1.5:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/EnumSet.html
Why do they proide these "of" mehtods instead of:
static <Eextends Enum><E>> EnumSet<E> of(E... e)
or
static <Eextends Enum><E>> EnumSet<E> of(E[] e)
?

The creation time of course depends on the nuber of elements initially added. But EnumSet is not only usefull to create fastly a Set, but to have a fast Set afterwards (the operations on the Set are likely fast). The EnumSet in fact has methods to add more than five elements (like "allOf", "range", "add" etc.). So this does not explain why the "of" methods are written like this.
