You're choking the compiler with too much source code ;) !!!

Loading the array from a text file sounds perfectly fine to me, and is quite
straightforward:

* Allocate requisite array
* Open a file stream and commence the read stream / load array
   cycle
* Close file stream, and start array processing

Easy !!!

Why would you want to include the array data in the source code, anyway -
security reasons such as avoiding tampering of the data by outsiders ? If
so, a simple option is to place the text file in the '.jar' file you are
using to distribute your program. There were a couple of posts on this
[accessing resources in a '.jar' file] recently.

I hope this helps.
