[java-dev] java version question

Have java-dev folks --

I've finished up a fun new mxj thing (maxlispj!), and a number of  
people were kind enough to test it out.  I ran into one problem + a  
solution:  I hadn't realized that mxj depended on the host machine's  
jvm.  I created my first jar using java v. 1.5, but anyone still  
running 1.4.x would get a major.minor version number error when trying  
to load my classes.  I can compile my classes and make the jar using  
1.4, so all is ok.

My question, though -- should I make both a 1.4 and a 1.5 version  
available, or just distribute the 1.4-compiled version?  Obviously I'm  
not using any 1.5-specific features, but are there any other  
advantages to using a 1.5-compiled version?
