I have a String array in a Groovy class (args to a main method):

String[] args

I'd like to convert the 3rd to the last element into a new array of ints. Is there an easier way to do this in Groovy other than:

final int numInts = args.length - 2
final int [] intArray = new int[numInts]
for (int i = 2; i < args.length; i++) {
    intArray[i-2]=Integer.parseInt(args[i])
}

I wanted to do:

final int numInts = args.length - 2
final int [] intArray = new int[numInts]
System.arraycopy(args, 2, intArray, 0, numInts)

But it throws a class cast exception.

Thanks!
