Instantiate a Java class

To create a new Java object, use ClassName.create(), and assign the value returned by the create() method to a program variable declared with the Java class name:

IMPORT JAVA java.lang.StringBuffer
MAIN
    DEFINE sb StringBuffer
    LET sb = StringBuffer.create()
END MAIN

If the Java class constructor uses parameters, pass the parameters to the create() method:

IMPORT JAVA java.lang.StringBuffer
MAIN
    DEFINE sb1, sb2 StringBuffer
    -- Next code line uses StringBuffer(String str) constructor
    LET sb1 = StringBuffer.create("abcdef")
    -- Next code line uses StringBuffer(int capacity) constructor
    LET sb2 = StringBuffer.create(2048)
END MAIN
