How to efficiently solve the knpasack problem, in Java?

/*
	Given an array of items. The array consists of 
	multiple sub-arrays holding two int values, 
	representing the value and the weight of an item, 
	respectively. We are also given the maximum 
	capacity of a knapsack. 
	In light of the above, this implementation demonstrates
	how to solve the famous knapsack problem, where the aim
	is to fit items in the knapsack with a view to 
	maximizing their combined value. 

	Let c be the capacity of the knapsack and
	n be the number of items.
	Time complexity: O(nc) 
	Space complexity: O(nc)
