Hi,

I'm a C++/Delphi programmer that is fairly new to Java and I'm trying to
makes some sense of something that is easy in either of these languages but
not so intuitive in Java (to me).

I'd like to be able to create a couple arrays of objects in Java and I'd
like to preallocate the arrays so that I don't have the performance problem
of creating each object separately.  This is no problem as I can just do
something like...

MyObjectType myObjects[] = new MyObjectType[ 10000 ];

But what I'd like to do is create another array that will only hold a
subset of the elements from this array.  Since the object that makes up
each element of this array is fairly large, I'd like for the elements of
the second array to just be able to POINT at the actual objecs of the first
array.

This is easy in C++ or Delphi as I can just make the second array be an
array of pointers (of type MyObjectType) and do something like

myObjects2[i] = &myObjects[j];

But since there are no pointers in Java I'm confused as to how to do this
or whether this is even possible.  Can somebody straigten me out on this?

TIA!!

Kevin
