Karl; I think you are mixing concerns somewhat -making things a little more complex than they need to be.
I would propose that most people using 2.2.1 are not doing so due to the java version, but simply because they have not ported their build to 3.X due to a bag of different constraints, java version being only one of them. So most users would be able to run 2.2.1 with jdk 1.6. And they can still run 2.2.1 with jdk 1.5, they'll just be missing the upgrades. This is the "cost" of running old software, and the industry as a whole is making running legacy versions cumbersome/costly. But I think coupling java version -> maven version like you're doing is basically flawed; for most users this is not about java versions.
