gdcm will work with Java 5 as long as newer JDK APIs aren't used.
Pointing the bootclasspath to a JDK 5 installation is a way to guarantee
it, another way is to use a tool like animal-sniffer (and the JEP 247
[1] will bring the same functionality to Java 9).

Regarding the policy we will have to rework it, many packages are no
longer compatible with Java 5 nowadays. And Java 9 will drop support for
the source/target level 1.5 [2].
