SonarLint, Array of String: Declare this local variable with "var" instead = error

Question

With Java 11, for this code:

String[] arrayString = {"foo", "bar"};

SonarLint say Declare this local variable with "var" instead.

So, I have tried:

var arrayString = {"foo", "bar"};
// or
var[] arrayString = {"foo", "bar"};

But now I get these errors:

• Array initializer needs an explicit target-type
• 'var' is not allowed as an element type of an array

How can I declare correctly array variables or attributes.

Answer 1

You could use

var arrayString = new String[]{"foo", "bar"};
