Thanks for the info. If I use the reified version of the generic - i.e. 
the erased version of the generic - ArrayList instead of 
ArrayList<Integer>, the compile error goes away and there is no run-time 
error either.

ArrayList<Integer>[] indexedValues = new ArrayList[5];

Although there is still a type safety warning.
