How would you invoke arrayList.get() through reflection in 1.4 ??

I was similarly stymied for a time in NetBeans 6.5. On my machine, Java
1.5 is the default; I had to add 1.4.2 and 1.6 in the Tools -> Java
Platforms dialog. Even after making 1.6 available, I couldn't change
Properties -> Source/Binary Format to JDK 6 until I first set Properties
-> Libraries -> Java Platform to JDK 1.6.

if you know at compile time you are looking for a java.util.List
interface object, you don't need reflection or anything fancy. Just
do a Class.forName and cast to a (List) or use generics to cast it for
you. You can then use a List ref to access all the methods of List
in a straightforward way.
