> I suggest modifying the signatures of the toFiles() and toURLs() to use varargs since that approach will automatically accept arrays and also allow the user to send an arbitrary number of them.
> Convert File[] toFiles(URL[]) to File[] toFiles(URL...)
> Convert URL[] toURLs(File[]) to URL[] toURLs(File...)
> I also suggest adding new methods for converting a collection of URLs or Files to an array, or to a List.
> File[] toFiles(Collection<URL>)
> List<File> toFilesList(URL...)
> List<File> toFilesList(Collection<URL>)
> URL[] toURLs(Collection<File>)
> List<URL> toURLsList(File...)
> List<URL> toURLsList(Collection<File>)
