Convert old-style array declarations (was: Re: ByteArrayOutputStream should not have a new writeBytes method in Java)

[Tagir Valeev]

Hello!

Ok, let's start with smaller thing which is java.desktop. Created a
JBS issue and posted a patch here:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/2d-dev/2018-October/009486.html

Jonathan,

I'm not sure I have enough time to post 70+ reviews for every module
and track all of them. My volunteering abilities are quite limited :-)
I think I can manage up to 3-4 separate changesets including already
posted java.desktop change. If you have suggestions on how to split
this to several big parts, you are welcome (I don't know how
"components" are mapped to modules, probably components are big
enough?). Or probably we can cover only part of modules for now and
wait for the next volunteer to pick up this.

With best regards,
Tagir Valeev.
