I would vote for supporting Java 6 and then indicating on the website which ant + ivy/ivyDE version combination is needed to support pre-JDK 1.6 environments, especially given the argument about Ant requiring more recent JDK version.
JDK 1.6 has been out long enough that it should probably be considered well established and suitable as the current baseline. At the same time it would be interesting to know from anyone who votes for continued support for java 1.4, why they are unable to use 1.6 as a their tooling environment, noting that you can still target 1.4 with 1.6 based build tools.
