    Creates a new array with the specified component type and

Invoking this method is equivalent to creating an array
as follows:

int[] x = {length};
Array.newInstance(componentType, x);


The number of dimensions of the new array must not
exceed 255.
Params: componentType – the Class object representing the component type of the new array
length – the length of the new array
Throws: NullPointerException – if the specified componentType parameter is null
IllegalArgumentException – if componentType is Void.TYPE or if the number of dimensions of the requested array instance exceed 255.
NegativeArraySizeException – if the specified length is negative
Returns: the new array/**
