If the connector is not running under the right JDK, it should log an error and stop making progress

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Connector Manager can be run under JDK 1.4 and 1.5, but sharepoint
connector only runs under 1.4. If 1.5 is used, it kinda works (the state
file doesn't get created) and Amit found that a non-obvious error is logged
in stderr logs:
--
javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactoryConfigurationError: Provider
org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl not found

      at javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory.newInstance(Unknown Source)

--

When connector starts, it should find out which JDK it is running under and
if it is an unsupported version, it should log an error in the normal log
file (not stderr) and should stop making any progress, so it is easy to
spot the error.

Let's make this check part of the installer. The JDK version check should be per
connector, and the versions should be a range. For example: 1.4.2 - 5.
