For the BWCTL plugin, my Java development environment is currently
version 5. I really have no idea about the implications of upgrading to
6. I'd assume it just requires a download from SUN and then to recompile
everything. If so, it would be nothing more than a minor inconvenience
since Java 5 is already bundled with Debian, and I'd have to maintain an
installation on my own if I were to upgrade.

A different build file for plugins might be a good idea though, I really
don't like my current hack of just adding the build instructions to the
main PerfsonarUI build file.

Greetings,
Roland
