+1 on requiring a baseline of Java 1.5. Not sure if anybody ever bothered to explicitly specify a Java baseline for LO, but Java 1.5 would apparently be in line with old OOo, see <https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=92032> "Increase Java minimum version to 1.5 in jvmfwk." (My memory told me that old OOo had still been at Java 1.4, but my memory was apparently wrong there. The only potential gotcha would be that if you write extensions that shall be compatible with really old OOo, you would need to compile with really old javac -- but who cares.)

the attached (uncommitted) patch changes codemaker to produce class
files in version 49, supported by JREs 1.5 or later, effectively raising
the baseline to Java 1.5 (if it is not there already).

So I'd say, apply that to both master and libreoffice-3-5 (i.e., you can use my sign-off for the latter).
