Java – Scala-Java interop, method overloading problems (arrays and variadic parameters)

I have a Scala class that has two overloaded set methods,
One with the Array parameter and the other with varargs.
I want to call these methods from the Java side, I’m facing some issues due to overloading and/or boxing/unboxing. It would be helpful if someone could explain the reason behind the problem I’m facing and/or suggest a workaround.

Scala class

class Sample {
  def set[S](values: Array[S]): Unit = {
    println("Array overload")
  }

@varargs
  def set[S](value: S, values: S*): Unit = {
    println("Varargs overload")
  }
}

Java calls

 public static void main(String[] args) {
        Sample sample = new Sample();

Boolean[] array = {true, false};
        Boolean boxed = true;
        boolean primitive = true;

 works for array
        sample.set(array);  should call Array-overload, calls Array-overload

 doesn't work for single element varargs
        sample.set(boxed);  should call varargs-overload, calls Array-overload instead
        sample.set(primitive);  should call varargs-overload, calls Array-overload instead

 works for multiple varargs
        sample.set(boxed, boxed);  should call varargs-overload, varargs-overload is called
        sample.set(primitive, primitive);  should call varargs-overload, varargs-overload is called

}

I guess it’s because of Scala results

public <S extends java.lang.Object> void set(java.lang.Object);

Replace

<S extends java.lang.Object> void set(S[]);

I don’t know if this is related to the covariance of the array. (Edit: Why generic arrays are removed as objects: Scala: arrays and type erasure.) )

EDIT: Scala 3 output does not compile under Java at this time, probably because it does not have the improvements of forwardporting Scala 2.
