constant_pool[name_index] is a string giving the name of the class.<P>
Because arrays are objects, the opcodes anewarray and multianewarray can reference array "classes" via CONSTANT_Class items in the constant pool. In this case, the name of the class is its signature. For example, the class name for <P>
<PRE>
<CODE>int[][] </CODE><P>
</PRE>
is <P>
<PRE>
<CODE>[[I</CODE><P>
<CODE></CODE><P>
</PRE>
The class name for <P>
<PRE>
<CODE>Thread[] </CODE><P>
</PRE>
is <P>
<PRE>
<CODE>"[Ljava.lang.Thread;"</CODE>
