  | Setting -source/-target 1.4 does not prevent usage of new 1.5 JDK features, just language constructs.

...which is to say, using -source 1.4 you couldn't use enums, generics, or annotations, but you can still use new classes/methods.  There's nothing within the JDK classes that marks specific classes or methods as new for 1.5 such that the compiler would be able to detect it.
