I fixed the issue since it was easy to do. I think we can reasonably continue Java 5 support for Continuum 1.4.x, with the caveat that the standalone install comes with Jetty 8, which requires Java 6.
For working on Continuum 1.5 or above, I'd certainly be happy for anyone to bump the minimum requirement to either Java 6 or 7, depending on what they need.
