JDK 1.6 and Maven 3.0.5 on Windows 2000

The installer for JDK 1.6.0_45 crapped out on me.  I think its probably due to trying to install Sun JavaDB.  Screw it.  The JDK installed but didn't get registered with Add/Remove Programs.  Not sure how I feel about that but it works.

Initially tried Maven 3.3.9, but a unsupported major.minor version issue drove me quickly to the archives.  Ended up going with 3.0.5.  Not convinced 3.3.9 is out of the picture, but then again not convinced that I'm stuck on JDK 1.6 either.

Next break, I'll give Eclipse and Scala a shot.
