Hi Chapman,

this is good news, to be honest I had given up on keeping to poke the
list about new releases, and when pl/java wasn't compatible with the
second PostgreSQL major release in a row, I even got the package
removed from Debian.

Reading the release notes, a lot of weirdness got removed from the
build/runtime system, so it should be feasible to get the package back
up with modest effort. I'll give that a try later this week.

Are there any gotchas about the OpenJDK version used? E.g. if I'm
building the package with version 7, will it work at runtime with
version 8? (Or the other way round?)
