I've looked, and I don't think it's possible to fix this for Java 1.6.

In
http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/apiDocs/org/apache/axis/i18n/ProjectResourceBundle.html,
clearCache() is part of the public API.  However,
org.apache.axis.i18n.ProjectResourceBundle inherits from
java.util.ResourceBundle, and that class marks clearCache() as final.
We could delete clearCache() and just use the inherited method as
a workaround, but it doesn't do the same thing.

The only way to recompile this, or indeed to use it, is with 
Java < 1.6.
