I have both Java 1.6.0.33 and 1.7.0.67 on my system; I am supporting some installations that are Java 6. It looks like the Jython 2.7b3 .jar file was built for Java 7 and does not run on Java 6 or earlier, as I get this error with Java 6: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/python/util/jython : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

Sorry, we are requiring Java 7 or higher for Jython 2.7. Please see the earlier discussion on jython-dev where this was brought up and resolved: http://python.6.x6.nabble.com/6-7-8-td5050854.html
