Array Java programming: source code sample for simple Java arrays.

How to read lines of a text file into a very simple fixed size array. Also shows how to sort the array content alphabetically, and how to write array content as another text file.
 
/*
   Java array source code example:
   -  read text file into a simple array
   -  with fixed maximum number of lines
   -  sort the array
   -  write array content into another text file.

   Put this text into a file tmp1.java.
