No it doesn't. Arrays in Java are objects and when invoking methods with object references, copy of the reference is created and copied to the stack frame which is then pushed onto the call stack [the stack which maintains the state (stack frame) of the currently executing methods]. The actual array still lives in the heap.
The romantic image of an über-programmer is someone who fires up Emacs, types like a machine gun, and delivers a flawless final product from scratch. A more accurate image would be someone who stares quietly into space for a few minutes and then says “Hmm. I think I’ve seen something like this before.” - John D
