Using 2.1:

Test case:

public class TestCase {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
	    args.clone();
	}
}

We generate wrong bytecodes:
public static void main(String[] args);
/*  Method descriptor  #15 ([Ljava/lang/String;)V */
Code attribute:
/* Stack: 1, Locals: 1 */
0	aload_0
1	invokevirtual #19 <Method java.lang.Object#clone() java.lang.Object>
4	pop
5	return

Jikes 1.18 produces the right bytecodes:

0	aload_0
1	invokevirtual #12 <Method [Ljava.lang.String;#clone() java.lang.Object>
4	pop
5	return
