Varargs for creating lists

I confess I am not so used to varargs yet, but sometimes they can be very useful, e.g. when you want to create a list and punch in some objects in one shot:

List<String> stooges = Arrays.asList("Larry", "Moe", "Curly");

Without the Arrays class you should use the old boring construct:

List<String> stooges = new ArrayList<String>
stooges.add("Larry");
stooges.add("Moe")
stooges.add("Curly");

The former is much better!
