On platforms with Java 1.7 it will still produce compatible code

Java 1.6 is still out there and widely used.
AFAIK, the code is 1.5 compliant which would be "least common
denominator". So, there's no need raising the bar to 1.6 actually.
You are correct, I tried to set target and source to 1.5 and that
compiled flawlessly.
The question is, do we (need to) care about 1.5?
As far as I know there are no support distributions which still ship
with 1.5
The platforms which ship with 1.6:
- RHEL 5 and 6
- Ubuntu 10.04 and 12.04
RHEL 6 and Ubuntu 12.04 also support 1.7.
But since the code is 1.5 compliant I won't complain if we set target
and source to 1.5. Although I don't think there are any 1.5 users left
who use libvirt-java
