How can I instantiate Java Arrays from JavaScript?

Only JDK1.1 with the new reflection api allows that:
  var javaArray = 
    java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(javaClass, length)
for instance an Array of type byte with length 10:
  var byteArray =
    java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(
      java.lang.Byte.TYPE, 
      10
    );
or an array of URLs
  var urlArray = 
    java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(
      java.lang.Class.forName('java.net.URL'),
      10
    );
