I have a RESTful web service that stores its information in MonetDB.  I have to run in a Java 1.6 environment.  The latest version of the jdbc driver says that it is for both 1.6 and 1.7.

I'm getting the dependency resolved through maven using the clojars repository

      <repository>
            <id>monetdb</id>
            <url>http://repository.pentaho.org/artifactory/repo</url>
            <snapshots>
                <enabled>false</enabled>
            </snapshots>
        </repository>

My dependency block looks like this:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>monetdb</groupId>
            <artifactId>monetdb-jdbc</artifactId>
            <version>2.9</version>
        </dependency>


Everything worked when I was running v2.8 and getting my dependency resolved from the pentaho repository, but when I get the dependency from clojars, I get the following error:

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: nl/cwi/monetdb/jdbc/MonetDriver : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

Two questions:

1.  Should the 2.9 version work under Java 1.6?
2.  Is there some setting I need to put in my pom.xml file so that it runs in "1.6 compatibility mode" or something?

Thanks,
