It looks like it may be a Java 1.4 / performance hack. This is all
I've found in JIRA on ArrayUtils:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GROOVY-4157
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GROOVY-3366
There's no direct reference to ArrayUtils in the Gradle code and it's
not clear to me when ArrayUtils is used by Groovy itself.

Hi,
seems that gradle is another victim of the poor ArrayUtils
implentation
of groovy. This class was heavily discussed on the groovy
mailinglist, I
rembember. Have a look at the code but don't bite into your
keyboard.--
code available at
http://svn.codehaus.org/groovy/trunk/groovy/groovy-core/src/main/org/codehaus/groovy/runtime/ArrayUtil.java

René
