Solr 3.x requires 1.5.x (Java 5). I know from experience that it will work with 1.6.x (Java 6). Solr 4.x requires Java 6, and I know from experience that it will work with Java 7. Solr 5.x, which isn't even close to release yet, will require Java 7. Although SolrJ is a standalone component, it is also an integral part of Solr itself, so it has the same Java requirement as Solr. It is highly unlikely that it will work at all with a 1.3.x Java version. Thanks, Shawn
