need to be able to create 2D and 3D arrays like java Float[][][]
examples
a = jarray.array([[[1.0]*4]*2],'f')  
TypeError: can't convert [[1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0], [1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0]] to float
a = jarray.zeros(jarray.zeros(4096*4,"f"),"f") 
   TypeError: zeros(): 1st arg can't be coerced to int
a = jarray.zeros([[[1]*4]*2],"f")  # 3D array of floats
   TypeError: zeros(): 1st arg can't be coerced to int

This should already be possible in Jython. There is an overloaded version of jarray.array() which takes a java.lang.Class object instead of a string description. As arrays are first class objects in Java, once you obtain the class object, you can pass that to create a 2D array of the appropriate type. It helps to know that "[I" is the name of the class for int[] (ie an array of int). See 10.8 here:

Example using jython console

>>> from java.lang import Class
>>> import jarray
>>>
>>> ci = Class.forName('[I')
>>> jarray.array([[1],[2]],ci)
array([I, [array('i', [1]), array('i', [2])])
>>>
>>> cf = Class.forName('[F')
>>> jarray.array([[1.0,1.0],[2.0,2.0]],cf)
array([F, [array('f', [1.0, 1.0]), array('f', [2.0, 2.0])])

works fine ,my example of a float [][][]:
cf = Class.forName('[[F') # can use [F [[F [[[F  
x = jarray.array([[[1.0]*4096*4]*2],cf)
#        some tests
        print("type x",type(x)) # type x <type 'array.array'>
        print(x[0][0][1]) # 1 ok
#        print(x[1][0][1]) # failed like it should
        print(x[0][1][1]) # 1 ok 
        print(x[0][0][100]) # 1 ok
        print(x[0][1][2000]) # 1 ok         
Thanks problem solved
