Let's look at the timeline (all dates from Wikipedia):
1) 2002 Feb: Java 1.4 is released.
2) 2008 Oct: Java 1.4 support ends.
3) 2011 Sep: Windows Server 2012 first developer preview.
4) 2012 Aug: Windows Server 2012 official release.
In other words, you're asking whether there might be any problem
running a Java version that became unsupported four years before the
initial release of the O/S you want to run it on.
Aww, gee, what could *possibly* go wrong?
