Hello, 

i try to initialize a 3 dimensional Array: 

this example is OK. 
static int  h[2][3][4] = [ [[1,2,3,4],[5,6,7,8],[9,10,11,12]],[[13,14,15,16],
[17,18,19,20],[21,22,23,24]] ]; 

not OK. 
static int[2][3][4] h = [ [[1,2,3,4],[5,6,7,8],[9,10,11,12]],[[13,14,15,16],
[17,18,19,20],[21,22,23,24]] ]; 

message: 
Error: too many initializers 4 for array[2] 

Is the second example wrong?

3 dimensional array is what?  Or to what possession of a 3 dimensional 
array do you refer?

Yes.  When the array dimensions are attached to the type rather than the 
variable, they go in reverse order.  That is, int[2][3][4] is an array 
of 4 int[2][3]s.

You therefore want

     static int[4][3][2] h = [
         [[1,2,3,4], [5,6,7,8], [9,10,11,12]],
         [[13,14,15,16], [17,18,19,20], [21,22,23,24]]
     ];
