obj.first caused Java::JavaUtil::NoSuchElementException on an empty Java21 ArrayList #8526
Description
Java21 introduced List.getFirst() and getLast(). So now this happens only in Java21 (jruby-9.4.9.0) because JRuby is calling the Java method. The same code runs fine and returns nil in Java17
irb(main):004:0> a = java.util.ArrayList.new
=> #<Java::JavaUtil::ArrayList: []>
irb(main):005:0> a
=> #<Java::JavaUtil::ArrayList: []>
irb(main):006:0> a.first
java.util.ArrayList.getFirst(java/util/ArrayList.java:439): Java::JavaUtil::NoSuchElementException
