Issue 18423: Operations with Collection as parameter should provide a "varargs" alternative (dds-psm-java-rtf)
Source: ADLINK Technology Ltd (Mr. Julien Enoch, julien.enoch(at)adlinktech.com)
Nature: Enhancement
Severity: Significant
Summary: The use of Collection for providing a single "parameter" is rather cumbersome and could be greatly improved by providing a "varargs" alternative.


Here is an example that showcases the issue:
  p = dp.createPublisher(
         dp.getDefaultPublisherQos().withPolicy(
            pf.Partition().withName(Arrays.asList("MyPartition"))
              ));


In this case a withName(String... names) operation will simplify the code as shown below:
  p = dp.createPublisher(
         dp.getDefaultPublisherQos().withPolicy(
            pf.Partition().withName("MyPartition")
              ));



Moreover the use of Collection type could lead to compilation error as in the following case:

  statusCondition.setEnabledStatuses(Arrays.toList(DataAvailableStatus.class));
