Perhaps you should read your streamTokzenizer and retrieve each word
and either stuff them in a Vector or read the file twice and do it the first
time just to get the word count. Use this word count to initialise your
array (to that size) then read the file again putting each word into the
Array.

A better one pass approach would be to read each word into a Vector
(You don't need to initialise a Vector with a size) then at the end get
the vector size, make the array then use the Vector.copyInto(Object[])
method to read your Vector into your array.

There are more sophisticated approaches but for a beginner this is an easy
conceptual approach.
