Am I missing something, or do varargs break Arrays.asList?

Question

  private void activateRecords(long[] stuff) {
    ...
    api.activateRecords(Arrays.asList(specIdsToActivate));
  }

Shouldn\'t this call to Array

Autoboxing cannot be done on arrays. You are allowed to do:

private List array(final long[] lngs) {
    List list = new ArrayList();
    for (long l : lngs) {
        list.add(l);
    }
    return list;
}

or

private List array(final long[] lngs) {
    List list = new ArrayList();
    for (Long l : lngs) {
        list.add(l);
    }
    return list;
}

(notice that the iterable types are different)

e.g.

Long l = 1l;

but not

Long[] ls = new long[]{1l}
