I recommend this not be fixed. https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Java+5+Compatibility states that as of Jenkins 1.520, Java 6 or later is required at runtime. Fixing this now will still only give the person who reported the bug a limited time before they will be unable to use Java 5.
Strictly speaking, the git-client-plugin pom.xml declares that git-client-plugin needs Jenkins 1.480 as its minimum version, so there is a reasonable argument that git-client should support Java 5. It does not (as noted by this bug report). Modifying it to support Java 5 seems like wasted effort because the rest of the infrastructure does not support Java 5 as of Jenkins 1.520.
I'm not the maintainer of the plugin, just an interested person, but I think that the maintainer has plenty of things to do on the plugin without attempting to make it compatible with a Java 5 runtime.
