newInstance
public static Object newInstance(Class componentType,
                                 int length)
                          throws NegativeArraySizeException
Creates a new array with the specified component type and length. Invoking this method is equivalent to creating an array as follows:
 int[] x = {length];
 Array.newInstance[componentType, x];
 

but { length ] doesnt work
only {length} works

(typo still exists in kestrel-beta docs)

Typo: " int[] x = {length];"

in the API there is an error.
in the page:
java.lang.reflect
Class Array
java.lang.Object
  |
  +--java.lang.reflect.Array

it prints
newInstance
public static Object newInstance(Class componentType,
                                 int length)
                          throws NegativeArraySizeException
Creates a new array with the specified component type and length. Invoking this
method is equivalent to creating an array as follows:
 int[] x = {length];
 Array.newInstance[componentType, x];

if you noticed, you decalred the array with {length]
oops?!??!?!!?!!??!
