Actually, the really nice thing about Retrotranslator (as opposed to Retroweaver) is that it does support quite a few of the new Java 1.5 APIs.  java.util.concurrent and StringBuilder are both supported.

If I understand correctly, there is one slight drawback: you can not use
the new java 5 APIs (like StringBuilder and java.util.concurrent).
However, you do get all the new language stuff: generics, extended for
loops, static imports, autoboxing/unboxing, varargs, enumerations and
annotations.

But since the move to java 5 is all about generics and not about API's I
would say: go for both!
