A java question, please help if you have the time

Hello,
I have an int[] and I would like to wrapp it in an Integer[].
I know that
Integer convertInt = int aNumber;   
But I am not sure how I would go about it for an array.
I tried using a for loop such as:
for(int i=0; i<aNumber.length; i++)
 convertInt = aNumber

but is no use as I get an error (array dimension missing)while declaring
Integer[] convertInt = new Integer[];

If anybody could help me get back on track it would be great.
 Thank you

You get that error because you need to specify a size to the array you create, try doing

[Select]

Integer[] convertInt = new Integer[intArray.size()](0);

I'm not absolutelly sure if that's the syntax and currently i don't have eclipse installed to confirm.

nearly there ;-)

[Select]

  int[] ints = new int[]{1,2,3,4,5};
  Integer[] intObjects = new Integer[ ints.length ];
  for( int i = 0; i < ints.length; ++i )
  {
  intObjects[ i ] = new Integer( ints[ i ] );
  }

Right, OGroeger!

(and i'm the one who loves java  )

Thank you very much for answering all and especially OGroeger, it was spot on, it worked like a charm(actually better) 

Now I can finally finish my method.
Thank you guys, I owe you a pint of lager

Cheers

Btw, there a lot of useful classes which can be very helpful. What i use very much is the Apache commons project, in particular the lang project (JavaDoc) which contains "Utils" packages, e.g. ArrayUtils which has a toObject() method that converts an int[] to Integer[].
 
The package that i use on every Project (when possible) is StringUtils. I coundn't live without StringUtils.defaultString() and StringUtils.isBlank().
