Yes.

Can't help there. Have you tried just setting the PATH to point to javac 5
when running ant?

Those methods are new in Mustang. It seems Arrays.java has just been added
to the cvs with these new methods. However I don't think you want to be
compiling the Mustang version of things. Does it not suffice to download the
jsr166 jar file and place it in your bootclasspath?
