This code snippet is useful for converting when a lot of array is given and needs in collection.  
 
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ArrayToCollection{
   public static void main(String args[]) 
   throws IOException{
      BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader
      (new InputStreamReader(System.in));
      System.out.println("Number of elements 
      you want to add to the array: ");
      int n = Integer.parseInt(in.readLine());
      String[] name = new String[n];
      for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){
         name[i] = in.readLine();
      }
      List list = Arrays.asList(name); 
      System.out.println();
      for(String li: list){
         String str = li;
         System.out.print(str + " ");
      }
   }
}
