You can do

val data = Array(Array("Mary", new java.lang.Integer(5)),
Array("Alison", new java.lang.Integer(7)))

but the inferred type for data is this:

Array[Array[java.lang.Comparable[_ >: java.lang.Integer with java.lang.String <:
java.lang.Comparable[_ >: java.lang.Integer with java.lang.String <:
java.io.Serializable] with java.io.Serializable] with java.io.Serializable]]

or you can do

val data = Array[AnyRef](Array[AnyRef]("Mary", new java.lang.Integer(5)),
Array[AnyRef]("Alison", new java.lang.Integer(7)))

and it's type is:

Array[Array[AnyRef]]

Thanks for the quick reply! That solves the problem. I have mainly coded in
java and other c-baseed languages, so Scala style and syntax feels sometimes
kinda odd and hard to understand.
