Hi Peter,

I want to give it some more thought and discuss with you next week. As for the zero number of interface, I think it's a bug and it should throw IAE if the given interfaces array is empty. Thanks for finding it and I'll file a separate bug for that since it requires spec update/clarification. I think it's a feature. It's useful, since it forwards Object methods to InvocationHandler (equals, hashCode, ...). Sometimes that's all you need.

Do you have specific use case or know any existing applications doing that? What's the reason one would prefer to create a proxy class with InvocationHandler rather than defining its own class that implements equals, hashCode, or toString() method?
