something like

T[] temp = new T[oldList.size()];

temp = oldList.toArray(temp);

List<T> newList = Arrays.asList(temp);

I think both Dr's reply and mine don't take into account that the OP wants

to rule out the new ArrayList(). Would he be sure that this is an ArrayList,

the casting method would do the trick.

On the other hand, the array method proposed here seems to avoid

the new ArrayList().
