Pitfalls of Arrays.asList in Java

Java's Arrays.asList method has three major pitfalls: it cannot directly convert primitive arrays like int[] because of autoboxing limits, it returns a fixed-size list that throws UnsupportedOperationException on modification, and the list shares its backing array so changes to the original array are reflected in the list; using Arrays.stream for boxing or wrapping the result in a new ArrayList avoids these issues.
