I am pretty sure it uses whatever J2SE you point it to.

The released eclipse is not supporting J2SE 5.0, and even while it may support using this JDK, it's editor/compiler wouldn't allow you to use 1.5 features.
Next eclipse (3.1) plan to fully support it, but is not yet there.

Eclipse knows nothing of Java, its just a framework for plugins.

It should better know java, as it is mostly all written in this language, with the unfortunate exception of SWT ...

How exactly does IT write non-portable code?

Well, as you may know, one of an IDE difference versus a simple editor like vi or emacs, is that it actually write some of the code for you, based on template and wizards. My point here is that eclipse is promoting its non portable graphic toolkit (the mis-named "standard" widget toolkit) instead of using AWT/SWING, which is the portable way to go, IMO.
