Yes, the variable 'a' is an array of Strings, it works exactly the same as when you write:

public static void main(String[] a)

Jesper,Thanks, but one more thing, what of if i have an overloaded method like this:
class X{
void getIt(int a){}
void getIt(int... a){}
}

will accept the value in the second getIt like an array?

Sorry, can anyone think of dynamically getting and sending some value (whos maximumlenghtyou dontknow)to send to the method:
-----------------------------------
void getIt(int... a){}
-------------------------------------
at runtime for a more dynamic implimentation situation?
Iamnot crazzy, thatmight not be the intention of sun for creating the var-args but.......

Hi Juwonlo,

you probably need to reconstruct your question...
dynamically getting and sending some value (whos maximumlenghtyou dontknow)to send to the method ... because this does not make any sense.

cheers...
