A look into Ant's buildfile [1] would help ;-)
Ant has support classes for different JDKs, but must be able to build on a JDK
1.2.
Therefore there are mechanisms for handling that:
<available property="jdk1.3+" classname="java.lang.StrictMath"/>
<available property="jdk1.4+" classname="java.lang.CharSequence"/>
<available property="jdk1.5+" classname="java.lang.Readable"/>
Simply checks for the existence of a 'newer' class.
Then you can use conditional targets
<target if="jdk1.5+">
<!-- do Java5 stuff -->
</target>
