This appears to be the most elegant and general approach.

for an ArrayList-like implementation, this one may perform well,
while for a LinkedList-alike it will scale rather bad for large lists.

Another option would be to get an iterator from your list, pre-advance
it once, then use a while-loop on it.hasNext() ...
   Iterator<E> it = l.iterator();
   it.next(); // skip first (assuming a list has ...)
   while (it.hasNext()) {
      final E e = it.next();
      ...
   }
