You are creating a new Object array, that has 2 Strings in it, "PLease" and "Help".

The construct you are using is called an anonymous array, because you are not assigning the array to anything (useful if you want to pass the array to a method).

See http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/java-ent/jnut/ch02_09.htm

It's short hand for a in-line array.

It's the same as doing...

Object[] aArray = new Object[2];
aArray[0] = "PLease";
aArray[1] = "Help";

This:

new Object[]{"PLease","Help"} ;

Is equivalent to:

Object[] array = new Object[size];
array[0] = "PLease";
array[1] = "Help";

I hope this clears it up a bit.
