Incompatible java version on Ubuntu slaves

Hi,

since today we are getting the following exception when building PDFBox

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version 
number in .class file
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:621)

The 1.8-branch [1] is the only affected PDFBox build. It uses "JDK 5 (latest)" 
and "Maven 3.0.3". The latter doesn't seems to be compiled with a 1.5 compatible 
JDK but with java 6 or newer. As it works before there has to be a incompatible 
change in the configuration of the ubuntu slaves. It looks as if there wasn't 
any jdk5 installed before and jenkins automatically switched to a jdk7.

The question is what maven version can be used in combination with jdk5 latest? 
Is there any maven 3 version compatible with java 5?

Hi,

just to avoid missunderstandins, I've switch the mentioned build at least 
temporarily to use java 6 latest
