Pointing the bootclasspath to a JDK 5 installation is a way to guarantee it, another way is to use a tool like animal-sniffer (and the JEP 247 [1] will bring the same functionality to Java 9). Regarding the policy we will have to rework it, many packages are no longer compatible with Java 5 nowadays. And Java 9 will drop support for the source/target level 1.5 [2].
