Java array assignment (multiple values)

Question

I have a Java array defined already e.g.

float[] values = new float[3];

I would like to do something like this further on in the code:

Answer 1

Yes:

float[] values = {0.1f, 0.2f, 0.3f};

This syntax is only permissible in an initializer. You cannot use it in an assignment, where the following is the best you can do:

values = new float[3];

or

values = new float[] {0.1f, 0.2f, 0.3f};

Trying to find a reference in the language spec for this, but it's as unreadable as ever. Anyone else find one?
