Note also that it's not intended to be a *complete* backport: many 1.5 features are being left out because 1.4 doesn't allow their implementation. (See the bottom of the page for the detailed list.)

As I read the page, they're *not* working on the nanosecond clock (because the JVM doesn't provide nanosecond accuracy). For example:
Condition:
long awaitNanos(long nanosTimeout) is not supported, since it cannot
accurately report remaining times with nanosecond precision.
If they intended to implement it, I'd expect it to say "not *yet* supported". (Do they say somewhere else that they *are* working on it?)
