> antlr3.jar=${ant.library.dir}/antlr-3.3-complete.jar
> ant-antlr3.jar=${ant.library.dir}/ant-antlr3.jar

> The compile target specified Java 1.5:

>     <javac destdir="${build.dir}/classes"
>            source="1.5"
>            target="1.5"
>            debug="true"

> Yet ST.java is using Java 6 features (Arrays.copyOf), see
> http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Arrays.html
> I think, if you want to stick with Java 1.5, you need to use
> http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#
> arraycopy(java.lang.Object,%20int,%20java.lang.Object,%20int,%20int)
> Or alternatively use an ArrayList.
