upgrade java.util to Java 5 compatible( was Re: [jira] Updated: (HARMONY-294) [classlib][luni] Implement the toString methods in java.util.Arrays)

Great. So I just change subject of this thread, to make it easier to be 
noticed,  if anyone interests or objects:).

And welcome anyone else to join us on this package, especially pls. 
shout on Wiki/ mailing list/JIRA if  you have relevant work ready to 
contribute or working on;). It's good idea of Nathan to subscribe the 
wiki page for LUNI[1] and get update.

And of course, I will also try my best to make the relevant component 
page up-to-date about my work.
