Thanks all for clarifying the issues here.  Assuming the unit tests
have good coverage, what would be the risks of the following strategy:

0. Test compile and unit tests using generated ant build running under
minimum jdk
1. Build release jar using 1.4/5 JDK with compile target set
2. Compile and run unit tests under minimum JDK against the release jar

This is as good as you will get if you wish to compile under the latest JDK.

Personally, I doubt that the javac changes in the later version are worth ths effort. Although some bugs may have been fixed in javac, the chances are that others have been introduced - so why not just use the correct javac version, with the nice side effect of the correct manifest version.
