Printing an array containing int values with system.out.println

Question

I am trying to display an array using System.out.println, but I constantly get an warning message when Eclipse is trying to run the code:

"An internal error has occured", and under "Details": -java.lang.NullPointerException

Here is the code:

import java.util.Arrays;

public class testerArray {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int [] test = {-1, -1, -1, -1};     
        System.out.println(java.util.Arrays.toString(test));
    }
}

I have searched many solutions on this site, but I must have become blind, because I can´t see what I do different from the examples used on the answers on this site. What do I do wrong?

Here is the stacktrace:

Answer 1

That looks more like an Eclipse problem than a code problem(in the stacktrace, you will see that the origin from the problem is in Eclipse classes). Why don't you try to run this file without Eclipse? http://www.cs.swarthmore.edu/~newhall/unixhelp/debuggingtips_Java.html#compiling

In that way,if it works, you will know that it is an Eclipse problem.
