Is it possible to make a method that returns a String[] in java?

Yes, but in Java the type is String[], not string[]. The case is important.
For example a method could look something like this:
public String[] foo() {
// ...
}
Here is a complete example:
public class Program
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Program program = new Program();
String[] greeting = program.getGreeting();
for (String word: greeting) {
System.out.println(word);
}
}
public String[] getGreeting() {
return new String[] { "hello", "world" };
}
}
Result:
hello world

Yes.
/** Returns a String array of length 5 */
public String[] createStringArray() {
return new String[5];
}

Yes:
String[] dummyMethod()
{
String[] s = new String[2];
s[0] = "hello";
s[1] = "world";
return s;
}

The other obvious choice would have been "foo" + "bar", but then I see you managed to have a foo in your answer as well :)
yes.
public String[] returnStringArray()
{
return new String[] { "a", "b", "c" };
}
Do you have a more specific need?

Sure
public String [] getSomeStrings() {
return new String [] { "Hello", "World" };
}
