A literal object array is defined as any other array.

Object[] objects = new Object[10];

Though, more likely, you are looking for something like ArrayList

List<Object> object = new ArrayList<Object>();

Which will give you the .add functionality because it's a List.

Objecttype objects= new Objecttype [initial size]

Why you want to use arrays. go for ArrayList in which you don't bother to define your initial size also it provides its own add method

Defining an array of objects is just like defining any other array

Object[] objectList = new Object[MAX_LIMIT];
for(int i=0;i<objectList.length;i++){
   objectList[i] = new ANY_DATA_TYPE();
}
