or source="1.5"; if you want to use Java1.5 features. No need to set the 
compiler attribute though, Ant works that bit out for you.

for builds under ant, I recommend making it a property, as you will need 
the same property in your javadoc task.

<property name="javac.java.version" value="1.4"

<javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}" debug="${debugmode}" 
includeAntRuntime="false"
	source="${javac.java.version}"> ...

Looking at what we do in common.xml, we have this template which sets 
both sourde and target to the version you pass in

     <presetdef name="sf-javac">
        <javac debug="${javac.debug.mode}"
             nowarn="true"
             deprecation="${javac.deprecation.mode}"
             source="${javac.java.version}"
             target="${javac.java.version}"
             includeAntRuntime="false"
             includes="**/*.java"
             >
        </javac>
     </presetdef>
