Array initialization syntax when not in a declaration

by

Why is this blocked by Java?

You’d have to ask the Java designers. There might be some subtle grammatical reason for the restriction. Note that some of the array creation / initialization constructs were not in Java 1.0, and (IIRC) were added in Java 1.1.

But “why” is immaterial … the restriction is there, and you have to live with it.

I know how to work around it, but from time to time it would be simpler.

You can write this:

AClass[] array;
...
array = new AClass[]{object1, object2};
