Var-arg syntax in Java

Question

private void setUuid(int.. uuid)  
{
  // method stuff
}

The Java 6 compiler complains when I try to use the syntax above .. Isn't the var-arg above valid ?

when the compiler complains about syntax, you check whether your syntax is correct. And guess whether you can find it in the first google result ;) — Bozho

And BTW, I am not a native English speaker, but I tend to believe in written English you would use three periods too, not two of them. — Grzegorz Oledzki

in other words - it's not that we aren't willing to help, but it would just be a lot quicker and beneficial for you to do it yourself ;) — Bozho

According to the 1.5 language docs it's three periods:

private void setUuid(int... uuid)  
{
  // method stuff
}

You need three dots to make an argument a vararg.
