I would vote for jdk 1.7. Support for JDK 6 has EOLed in November 2012,
Please see https://blogs.oracle.com/henrik/entry/updated_java_6_eol_date We have hit a problem with JDK 1.6 - cross realm Kerberos authn does not work between MIT KDC and MIT KDC. This has been fixed only in JDK 1.7 and not back ported to JDK 1.6.
