Complains about incompatible types

Question

I'm trying to create a send email function in netbeans and it says

"incompatible types: InternetAddress cannot be converted to InternetAddress[]".

When I write InternetAddress[] address = new InternetAddress[10](); it complains about a ; missing.

mailSession.setDebug(sessionDebug);
Message msg = new MimeMessage(mailSession);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
InternetAddress[] address = (new InternetAddress(to));


msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, address); 
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setSentDate(new Date());
msg.setText(messageText);

Try so: `InternetAddress[] address = new InternetAddress[]{new InternetAddress(to)};` — Evgeni Enchev, Feb 14 '19 at 11:13
iF you want to create a new Array you do not have to use brackets at the end: `new InternetAddress[10];` — Jens, Feb 14 '19 at 11:13

Instead of

InternetAddress[] address = (new InternetAddress(to));


msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, address);

Use

msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));

() are not the right brackets to use for array initialization. Use {} instead:

InternetAddress[] address = {new InternetAddress(to)};
                         // ^                       ^
