You could do this if it's short:

int[] array = {-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1};

but that gets bad for more than just a few.

Easier would be a for loop:

  int[] myArray = new int[10];
  for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
       myArray[i] = -1;

Edit: I also like the Arrays.fill() option other people have mentioned.
