Arrays.copyOf()
was introduced in 1.6.
You'd need to create a new array of the size you need and copy the contents of the old array into it.
From: http://www.source-code.biz/snippets/java/3.htm
/**
* Reallocates an array with a new size, and copies the contents
* of the old array to the new array.
* @param oldArray the old array, to be reallocated.
* @param newSize the new array size.
* @return A new array with the same contents.

Class elementType = oldArray.getClass().getComponentType();
Object newArray = java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(
elementType,newSize);
int preserveLength = Math.min(oldSize,newSize);
if (preserveLength > 0)
