Primarily to be compatible with C and C++, which was one of the goals of Java when it was being designed (minimize the learning curve for those familiar with C and C++ to increase adoption). Speaking from a lower-level perspective, arrays are accessed by a pointer and an index. If you call the pointer PTR, and the index IDX, you can access an element in the array by using PTR+IDX. In order to avoid wasting memory, IDX may be zero, since PTR is already allocating that memory to the existence of the array. In languages where IDX starts at 1, PTR[0] stores the number of elements in the array, and can't be directly accessed. Java stores the length of the array elsewhere (in the variable "length"), and so it can start its element allocation at zero.
