drop support for jdk5?

Hi guys,

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JUDDI-265

Has to do with changes in classloading in tomcat (compared to 5.x: 
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html). As 
long as you set your JAVA_HOME correctly our war works fine using jdk6. 
Since jdk5 has been sunsetted by Sun/Oracle, I'm thinking we should 
leave it up to the community to get the right jars loaded if they need 
to run on jdk5 and tc6.

Any objections?

--Kurt

Fine with me too - I just added a sentence to the doc suggesting use of 1.6.
