Array of JavaFX Pane objects?

Question

I'm making Tetris in JavaFX and set up a the gameboard of 200 Panes set up in a 10x20 grid. I have added all of those objects to my controller. However, I would like to set all of them up in an array so that it is easier to handle the coordinates. Pane[][] does not seem to be allowed, giving the error in Eclipse "Type mismatch: cannot convert from Pane to Pane[]" for some of the listed Pane object and "pane01 cannot be resolved to a type" for others. Can Pane objects simply not be put into an array? I could have sworn I was able to with ToggleButtons in a previous project, but I can't remember for sure. Thanks ahead.

I set up the Panes in the controller similar to:

@FXML
private Pane pane00, pane10, pane20,
             pane01, pane11, pane21;

with the numbers representing the x/y coordinates. And was trying to put them into an array as:

public Pane[][] gameBoard = {pane00, pane10, pane20},
                            {pane01, pane11, pane21};

I originally tried doing the above array setup just under the @FXML as the main setup of it in the controller, but it had the "pane01 cannot be resolved to a type" error on some of the objects (note: only SOME, others were fine for whatever reason)

You need to add one more opening and closing braces to consider it 2d array

solution:

public Pane[][] gameBoard = {{pane00, pane10, pane20},
                             {pane01, pane11, pane21}};

If I could go crawl in a hole now and never be seen by the world again, that would be nice. Thank you very much
