Once Maven is installed, I tried to execute mvn -version and I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/apache/ma
    ven/cli/MavenCli : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0
            at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)
            at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClassCond(ClassLoader.java:631)

            at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
            at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:190)
......

I'm running on jdk1.6 and maven-3.3.3.

How do I solve this problem?

This happens because your jdk version is outdated.

From the Maven installation page:

Maven 3.3 requires JDK 1.7 or above, Maven 3.2 requires JDK 1.6 or above, while Maven 3.0/3.1 requires JDK 1.5 or above.

You either need to upgrade your JDK to 7 or higher, or downgrade Maven to the 3.2 version.
