/**
* Converts the given array into a {@link java.util.Map}. Each element of the array
* must be either a {@link java.util.Map.Entry} or an Array, containing at least two

* Map colorMap = MapUtils.toMap(new String[][] {{

* This method returns <code>null</code> for a <code>null</code> input array.

* an Array containing at least two elements, may be <code>null</code>
* @return a <code>Map</code> that was created from the array
* @throws IllegalArgumentException if one element of this Array is
* itself an Array containing less then two elements
* @throws IllegalArgumentException if the array contains elements other
* than {@link java.util.Map.Entry} and an Array
