Inverse array (Java) // Invertir array (Java)

Question

I can inverse array by recursive method, for example: array={1,2,3,4,5} arrayresult={5,4,3,2,1} but my result is the same array, I don't know why, help me please.

public class Recursion {
public static int arrayReverse(int [] array, int indice, int pos){
    if(indice>=0 && pos<array.length){
        int tmp = array[pos];
        array[pos]=array[indice];
        array[indice]=tmp;
        arrayReverse(array, indice-1, pos+1);
    }
    return array[array.length-1];
}

public static void arrayReverse(int [] array){
    arrayReverse(array, array.length-1, 0);
}

} The class main, were is the arrays

import java.util.Arrays;

public class Main {
/**
 * Prueba el método Recursion.arrayReverse
 * @param input - array a tratar
 * @param expected - resultado esperado
 */
static void test(int[] input, int[] expected) {
    // Se informa del caso que se está probando
    System.out.println("probando: arrayReverse(" + Arrays.toString(input) + ")");

    // Llamada al método a probar
    Recursion.arrayReverse(input);

    // Comprobación de los resultados
    if (!Arrays.equals(input, expected)) {
        System.out.print(">> Resultado erróneo, deberia ser: " + Arrays.toString(expected) + "");
        System.out.println(" y es: " + Arrays.toString(input) + "");
    } else {
        System.out.println(">> Resultado correcto: " + Arrays.toString(input) + "");
    }        
}

/**
 * Invoca a test para realizar múltiples pruebas
 * @param args
 */
public static void main(String[] args) {
    int[] v1 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    int[] v2 = {5, 4, 3, 2, 1};
    test(v1, v2);

} }

Hint: You are swapping elements - it means that you only need to iterate through half of the array...
