Despite "In keeping with the design of...": Why not go Groovy here and
supply this as a property ?
E.g.:
String[].emptyArray
?
(Would imho also expresses more that the resulting object is shared...)

In keeping with the design of "Collections.emptyList()",
"Collections.emptySet()", etc. What about a DGSM on
java.util.Arrays? Something like "Arrays.emptyArray()" which would
accept generics or coercion like the Collections methods.
String[] empty = Arrays.emptyArray()
def empty = Arrays.<String[]>emptyArray()

How would you return an empty multi-dimensional array? Your original
proposal would cover that, correct? String[][].emptyArray()
Under your new proposal, String.emptryArray() -> String[], is this it
String[].emptyArray() -> String[][]?
I do prefer "String.emptryArray()" at first glance. One-dimensional
will be the most common use case by far.

`String.emptyArray()` may be better
