If possible at all, the base line support should be Java 1.4 as long as possible as there are still quite a few Java deployments at that level (also 1.5) in the market despite Sun/Oracle putting the EOL death spell on Java 1.4 and 1.5. (Of course, support for 1.4 can only be granted, if it is possible to compile the ODF toolkit for target 1.4 and not using Java methods only available in Java 1.5 or higher, as <http://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/odftoolkit-release-guide.html> mandates 1.5 as a minimum JDK level.)
