[Building Sakai] java 6

[Charles Hedrick]

That is an argument that you pass to the JVM in catalina.sh or  
setenv.sh. It causes the class loader to behave as it did in Java 5.  
Problems caused there would show when you're starting Sakai. We don't  
use the search tool, so we wouldn't see the issue you mention.
