The maven-enforcer-plugin [1] can be used in the pom to ensure that the project isn't
accidentally built on a newer or older jvm. E.g.:

         <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-enforcer-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.0-beta-1</version>
            <configuration>
               <rules>
                  <requireJavaVersion>
                     <version>[1.5,1.6)</version>
                  </requireJavaVersion>
                  <requireMavenVersion>
                     <version>[2.1.0,2.2)</version>
                  </requireMavenVersion>
               </rules>
            </configuration>
            <executions>
               <execution>
                  <goals>
                     <goal>enforce</goal>
                  </goals>
               </execution>
            </executions>
         </plugin>

@estebistec: It could if guice was using maven to build.  However, the POMs are just informative, for uploading
to central.  This would have to be taken care of in the ant scripts instead.

Guice 3.0 will be properly built with Java 1.5.
