The current version of Groovy has 1.6 as the minimum but is our maintenance stream. The upcoming next version will require 1.7 and versions with 1.8 as the minimum are not too far away.
Ant 1.9.x is still on Java5 but Ant 1.10.x requires Java 8. I don't think Gradle uses any Ivy classes any more. I'd recommend 1.7 since most active projects will be releasing on 1.7/1.8 and then after a release, if all goes well activity-wise, I'd then bump the Ivy version and target 8. Cheers, Paul.
