No, it doesn't.

It probably checks for the Sun compiler, since the system requirements
say that is required:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r3/requirements.html

But I use Sun's Java 1.6 (specifically 1.6.0_14) without issue and have
for some months now, on Ubuntu. It is definitely not limiting you to
Java 1.5.

It may be limiting you from using non-standard JDKs -- I would guess
that is a matter of reducing testing and support costs. So long as you
(and perhaps other like-minded folk) are willing to take on the burden
of testing and support for OpenJDK, there is nothing really stopping you
from trying to use it.
