I don’t like how the code below looks and I’d like to know how I could do it using the ternary operator:

if (isIndexed) {
    Files.move(source, destination);
}
else {
    Files.move(source, destination, StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);
}

I’m expecting something that looks like:

Files.move(source, destination, isIndexed ? xxxx : StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);

If there were some kind of “default” copy option I could use, I think that would be what I’m looking for. But the enum for StandardCopyOption doesn’t have a “NONE” option.

So I’m probably missing something. What is it?

    It’s a varargs argument, so you could just set an empty array by new StandardCopyOption[0].

    Files.move(source, destination, isIndexed ? new StandardCopyOption[0] : new StandardCopyOption[] { StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING });

    You only need to make the other hand of the condition an array too. You could refactor it to two (local) constants to improve readability.
