Creates a new array
with the specified component type and dimensions.
If {@code componentType}
represents a non-array class or interface, the new array
has {@code dimensions.length} dimensions and
{@code componentType} as its component type. If
{@code componentType} represents an array class, the
number of dimensions of the new array is equal to the sum
of {@code dimensions.length} and the number of
dimensions of {@code componentType}. In this case, the
component type of the new array is the component type of
{@code componentType}.

<p>The number of dimensions of the new array must not
exceed 255.

@param componentType the {@code Class} object representing the component
type of the new array
@param dimensions an array of {@code int} representing the dimensions of
the new array
@return the new array
@exception NullPointerException if the specified
{@code componentType} argument is null
@exception IllegalArgumentException if the specified {@code dimensions}
argument is a zero-dimensional array, if componentType is {@link
Void#TYPE}, or if the number of dimensions of the requested array
instance exceed 255.
@exception NegativeArraySizeException if any of the components in
the specified {@code dimensions} argument is negative.
