ICBW, but isn't it simply "java 5", with no revision? I think it's one of those marketing hoohah moments. Very confusing from the get-go. Like having "Java 2" with jdk revs in the 1's. 

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/relnotes/version-5.0.html

"Both version numbers "1.5.0" and "5.0" are used to identify this release of the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition. Version "5.0" is the product version, while "1.5.0" is the developer version. The number "5.0" is used to better reflect the level of maturity, stability, scalability and security of the J2SE."

Of course, the -source parameter to javac accepts 1.5 and 5.
