Answer 1

What I meant is you can always use the new operator to create an array. You can even use it in conjunction with populating it: Object[] = new Object[] {"foo", new Integer(5), etc...}; But more to the point, declaring an array final says nothing about that array's elements.
public class ZZZ {
    final int[] arr_; // legal, as long as all ctors give this variable a value
    public ZZZ() {
        arr_ = new int[1]; // legal, even without providing a value for the element
    public ZZZ(int size) {
        arr_ = new int[size]; // legal
        arr_[0] = 0; // legal
        arr_[0] = 1; // legal
}
