use testArray = [:] instead. And this is not an array but a map. I assume that this is also the case in ruby. AFAIK only PHP has some odd array/map mishmash — cfrick

Use testArray = [:] instead. And this is not an array but a map (a LinkedHashMap to be specific and [:] is the literal Groovy uses to create it). Maps in Java/Groovy are associative data structures to store key-value-relations. Access via map[key] is an enhancement, that Groovy brings to the table.

Arrays only take ints as indices. "fff" is not a valid value for an index, therefore java crashes, telling you its a mismatch.

If you want to create a 2d array of Strings then you should try this.

String[][] testArray = new String[x][y];

where x and y are the dimensions for this array.
