Array returned from Java object not converted to JavaScript array

[aro]

When a JavaScript function calls a Java method that returns e.g. an array of String, it is not correctly converted to a JavaScript array of strings.
Research if we can improve the handling for arrays, in toNativeObject function.

@aro @srs Isn't this the same as #5257?

[aro]

It's not the same issue. This one is related to general conversion of objects from Java to JS.
For #5257 we probably need a custom serializer (mapper) for Event objects in java.

Do we want this in 6.12? How complicated/time-consuming is this?

[aro]

It's a minor improvement for people creating libs. There are workarounds, by using List instead of array, which is more common in Java anyway.
It's not a big change but I would prefer to make it after 6.12 so we get time to test it and make sure there is no unexpected behavior with the conversion.
