becuase thee is no element in the sub-array ?
Yeah, I think it's that the second dimension is declared but not initialized; that is, the compiler doesn't care because it knows that there's an array of longs, but then the jvm gets confused because it doesn't know how many there are supposed to be; so it's trying to use something that hasn't been fully defined.
