There's already a bug filed against cocoon for java 1.5 compatibility. you might want to look into that. i don't think anyone's really checked into the actual cause of the problem yet though.
The bugs I have found are related to building Cocoon with JDK 1.5; I am trying to use Java 1.5 features with (JDK 1.4 compiled) Cocoon running on JDK 1.5; Filed a new bug: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30971
Just so you know there is a performance penalty with running JDK 1.4 (or prior) code on a 1.5 VM. However for something like a server, those penalties will eventually go away as the system is hot-spot compiled.
Here are some things I have found with 1.5:
1) Java 1.5 has changed the class format. It is incompatible with prior versions.
2) Java 1.5 can run 1.4 code, but the reverse is not true. You said you were running Java 1.5 though...
3) If you are running Java 1.5 beta 1, the compiler defaults to "-source 1.4"... meaning you have to explicitly tell it that you are using "-source 1.5"
If you don't have Java2 5 (Java 1.5) beta 2 installed, try that and use the compiler from that JDK.
