    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //
        // A two dimensional array of countries capital.
        //
        String[][] countries = {{"United States", "New York"},

        //
        // To convert an array to a Map each array elements must be an array with
        // at least to element where the first element will be the key and the
        // second element will be the value.
        //
        Map countryCapitals = ArrayUtils.toMap(countries);

        System.out.println("Capital of Japan is " + countryCapitals.get("Japan"));
