由Nexus引出的JDK版本问题

要在公司内部的一台虚拟机上部署一套Nexus仓库，虚拟机的JDK6版本，Tomcat是6.0的最新稳定版本。从Sonatype.org下载了Nexus的最新稳定版的war包，然后扔到Tomcat下启动竟然部署失败，异常信息如下：

严重: Null component Catalina:type=JspMonitor,name=jsp,WebModule=//localhost/nexus,J2EEApplication=none,J2EEServer=none

从关键异常信息“Unsupportedmajor.minorversion51.0”可得知，是包里编译的class的要求最低版本与系统JDK版本不一致导致的。继续查资料，得到版本号的对应关系如下：

J2SE 8 = 52,
J2SE 7 = 51,
J2SE 6.0 = 50,
J2SE 5.0 = 49,
JDK 1.4 = 48,
JDK 1.3 = 47,
JDK 1.2 = 46,
JDK 1.1 = 45

51.0应该就是JDK7了吧，也就是说要想部署成功，系统JDK版本最低应该是7.

直接去官网down了JDK8，修改catalina变量，启动成功。

大家有多少服务器环境的JDK版本升级到7了？
