Difference between Java array assignments

I have been programming in Java for quite some time and this question popped up suddenly in my head.

What is the difference between writing:

int[] a = new int[SIZE];
int a[] = new int[SIZE];

Both of them seem to work fine on my machine.

In your case, it's the same. But if you declare more than one variable in the same line, then there is a difference.

See: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-10.html

Particularly, these declarations:

short     s,         // scalar short
          aas[][];   // array of array of short
Object[]  ao,        // array of Object
          otherAo;   // array of Object
