Well and that's exactly the problem the ANT-File has no idea that you 
want it to compile the JavaSources to 1.5 (it defaults to the compiler 
version). You need to set this in there explicitly. Take a look at the 
ant-Documentation (I think the properties are named source and target 
but I could be wrong)
