ByteArrayOutputStream should not have a new writeBytes method in Java

[Tomasz Linkowski]

Hello Stuart,

I'm not sure whether you're aware that IntelliJ IDEA has an automatic
inspection named "C-style array declaration":
- description:
https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/master/plugins/InspectionGadgets/src/inspectionDescriptions/CStyleArrayDeclaration.html
- logic:
https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/master/plugins/InspectionGadgets/InspectionGadgetsAnalysis/src/com/siyeh/ig/style/CStyleArrayDeclarationInspection.java

You can run such single inspection over the entire project as described
here:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/running-inspection-by-name.html

It will fix all such C-style array declarations for you automatically.

Tomasz Linkowski

2. even if, it should not be byte b[] but byte[] b
