Use the fail task:
    <fail message="Not running ant with JDK 1.4 - this will
result in differing class versions">
      <condition>
        <not>
          <equals arg1="${ant.java.version}" arg2="1.4" />
        </not>
      </condition>
    </fail>

Be aware however taht using the target and source attributes for
the javac task will generate correct class versions.
