How do I create an array of multiple dimensions?

For example, I want an integer or double matrix, something like double[][] in Java.

I know for a fact that arrays changed in Scala 2.8 and that the old arrays are deprecated, but are there multiple ways to do it now and if yes, which is best?

Like so:

scala> Array.ofDim[Double](2, 2, 2)
res2: Array[Array[Array[Double]]] = Array(Array(Array(0.0, 0.0), Array(0.0, 0.0)), Array(Array(0.0, 0.0), Array(0.0, 0.0)))

scala> {val (x, y) = (2, 3); Array.tabulate(x, y)( (x, y) => x + y )}
res3: Array[Array[Int]] = Array(Array(0, 1, 2), Array(1, 2, 3))

It's deprecated. Companion object exports factory methods ofDim:

val cube = Array.ofDim[Float](8, 8, 8)

An Array of nested tuples is not a multidimensional array.
