[Live-demo] GeoKettle on alpha5

[Cameron Shorter]

Thanks Etienne,
If you have not done so already, can you please update your install 
script header with a comment about what versions of java geokettle will 
run with, and which you would prefer (if any). This will be useful for 
future packagers.
