Eclipse 3.1 M7. The following unit-test fails while creating the method: 
	public void testJDTFailure() throws Exception {
		IPackageFragment fragment = 
myJavaProject.getPackageFragmentRoots()[0].createPackageFragment("cz.fff", 
false, null);
		ICompilationUnit unit = fragment.createCompilationUnit
("A.java", "package cz.fff;\npublic abstract class A {}\n", false, null);
		unit.getTypes()[0].createMethod("/**\n * @return \n */\npublic 
abstract boolean[][] getPrimitiveSuperArray();", null, false, null);
	}

Exception is:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Tested with boolean[][] and String[][] return types, none works.
At the same time, such a method can be added via UI (e.g., by implementing an 
interface which has such a method, and invoking code-sense to create an 
overriding declaration).
