Yes that's true. BCEL does not support java 1.5. 

There has been some vague talk about adding this, but unless someone
steps up to write the code it isn't likely to happen.

No.

If you need generics support I suggest you try ASM (asm.objectweb.org).
Note that the ASM core uses a "visitor" pattern to process class files,
and this is the recommended way to use ASM. However it can also build a
tree representation like BCEL's if you use the optional "tree" package.
