I can volunteer to update the build server... i just have to add a java 6
jdk and then update the trunk builds for geotools and geoserver to use that
jdk. Should not be much work. Once someone has done a successful java 6
build locally and made any pom updates, etc... just let me know and I will
update hudson.
