I've just tried to reproduce your error using Scala 2.8.0 and can't. Here's my code.
The Scala and Java approach for varargs doesn't match: Scala varargs are based on Seqs (or so?) and Java varargs on arrays. Did you try.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
