Description

The function make-java-array creates a Java array object array.

type specifies the type of elements in array. To make an array of any Java class, type needs to be a string with the full name of the class. To make an array of primitive type, type should be the corresponding keyword (:byte, :short, :int, :long, :float, :double, :char or :boolean). type can also be :object or t meaning java.lang.Object, and :string meaning java.lang.String, and the FLI types matching the primitive types.

The dimension(s) of the array are specified by first-dim and the dims list, which must all be non-negative integer(s).

make-java-array returns the new array.
