title: How can I initialize a String array with length 0 in Java?
body: <p>The Java Docs for the method<br>
  <code>String[] java.io.File.list(FilenameFilter filter)</code><br>
  includes this in the returns description:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The array will be empty if the directory is empty or if no names were accepted by the filter.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How do I do a similar thing and initialize a String array (or any other array for that matter) to have a length 0?</p>
