initializing an array

hi folks
merry christmas to all of you.
here is my question. it is more a java question than a processing question.
i use an int-array with two dimensions in my programm. now i want to initialize every element in the array with the same value (0) as simple as possible. i tried the Arrays.fill method from the javaclass: java.util.Arrays but it seems to be restricted to arrays with one dimension. is there a method for more complex arrays?
i know how to write my own method to initialize my array, but i just wonder if java provides such a method.
thanks a lot.

as far as i know, arrays of ints are filled with 0's when you create them.
+ a bet: the java.util.Arrays methods you mentioned seem to be post java 1.1, so they won't work when exported to an applet (a lot of web users are still working with microsoft jvm or apple mrj)

actually, it's not that applets are working only with 1.1, but rather that a lot of useful stuff from the java api won't work with 1.1.
for example: if you look into the java 1.4 api docs, you'll notice a lot of "since JDK 1.2" or "since JDK 1.3" mentions.

by the way, you were right when you assumed that int-arrays initialize automatically with 0. i used the array without initializing and it worked as i wanted it to work.
