Jena is built to run against Java 6, but I would recommend any new projects use the latest version of Java 7. The Jena libraries are forward-compatible. Oracle has end-of-lifed Java 6, and there has been some discussion about moving Jena to Java 7 (but no definite timeline so far).
-Stephen P.S. Speaking personally, I'm a bit disappointed that Java 8 is being delayed until next year, as things like lambdas would be really useful for Jena. When that does come out, I'd love to see us adopt Java 8 relatively quickly.
