Question

Answer 1

+7 A:

Have a look at this for an explanation. But basically the array type is built-in to the jvm and you need to analyze the source code for the jvm you are running in order to truly know how it works.

Answer 2

+1 A:

Here is the javadocs for java.util.Arrays and here is the implementation of java.util.Arrays in openjdk. Google Code search is a good way to go about it.

UPDATE 1: Link updated. Posted the wrong link.

UPDATE 2: As pointed out by thilo, the jvm implementation of Array is here

I think he's asking about the infrastructure that allows you actually create arrays. `java.util.Array` is just a utility class.

Note that this is the source for the Arrays utility class (not the native array data type).
