You are correct, I tried to set target and source to 1.5 and that 
compiled flawlessly.

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
