呵呵，同事的类编译出来以后在Tomcat里面运行一直报错，说类版本不对，他已经把JDK1.6卸载了，上网查了下，一个简单的类就可以读出class文件的版本：

import java.io.*;

public class ClassVersionChecker {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++)
            checkClassVersion(args[i]);
    }

    private static void checkClassVersion(String filename)
        throws IOException
    {
        DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream
         (new FileInputStream(filename));

        int magic = in.readInt();
        if(magic != 0xcafebabe) {
          System.out.println(filename + " is not a valid class!");;
        }
        int minor = in.readUnsignedShort();
        int major = in.readUnsignedShort();
        System.out.println(filename + ": " + major + " . " + minor);
        in.close();
    }
}

major  minor Java platform version
45       3           1.0
45       3           1.1
46       0           1.2
47       0           1.3
48       0           1.4
49       0           1.5
50       0           1.6
