+## Java Utilities
+
+Syntax for converting between a JObjectArray and a List of JObjects have been
+added to the Java utility library.
+
+* The alias `JObjectArray` has been added to aid readability
+* `ListToJObjectArray` - converts a List of JObjects to a JObjectArray
+* `ListFromJObjectArray` - converts a JObjectArray to a List of JObjects
