Re: Three weeks left until feature freeze

I'd like to submit PL/Java into core for 8.2 if possible. Personally, I see the following
action items to make it happen:

1. A "hackers" discussion to resolve any issues with the submission.

Provided that #1 has a positive outcome:

2. The PL/Java CVS must be moved from gborg and become part of the PostgreSQL CVS (can this
be done with version history intact?).
3. The regression tests need some work in order to fit in with the build farm.
4. Documentation must be ripped from the PL/Java Wiki and transformed into the format used
by PostgreSQL.
5. I'll need committer rights to the PL/Java part in order to maintain it.
6. The pljava-dev mailing list, currently at gborg, must (perhaps) be moved also. An
alternative is to remove it and instead refer to jdbc, general, and hackers.

Given guidance, I'll do the steps #3 and #4.

External dependencies:
Platforms where PL/Java is ported must either support GCJ 4.0 or higher or have a Java
Runtime Environment 1.4.2 or higher installed.
