Eh, OpenGeo wise we're kind at the end of the rope for the Hudson build server, we can hardly host any other build, disk space is exhausted. If there is anyone else game about standing up a separate build server we could go and start building with Java 6 to at least ensure new people can start developing with what they are familiar without having to stumble into stupid JDK issues. And of course we'd also need the ok from the PSC and general dev community about supporting both build enviroments, it will certainly put some more effort on our shoulders.
