Conversion Vector of Floats to float[]: exception?

Question

Java Developers,
I am able to convert my String vector to a
String[] but just can't get the Vector with Floats to be converted to a float[] array. I have looked into google and java.sun.com Forums but still cant seem to find the answer. I would really appreciate your help!
This is how I am making the conversion from Vector(String) to String[]:
legendLabelsArray = new String[columnHeads.size()];
int k=0;
Iterator e = columnHeads.iterator();
while(e.hasNext()){
System.out.println("inside the enumerator");
legendLabelsArray[k] = e.next().toString();
System.out.println("Array elements at " + k + " are " + legendLabelsArray[k]);
System.out.println(k++);
How can I make something similar to work with a Vector with Floats to float[] instead of Strings?
Thanks,
Musaddiq

Assuming Vector v with Float elements:
float[] a = new float[v.size()];
int n = 0;
for (Iterator i = v.iterator(); i.hasNext(); )
    a[n++] = ((Float) i.next()).floatValue();
