Re: Why isn't Java support part of Postgresql core?

As far as I understand it, this is the end-user's problem (to be
documented) as opposed to a development problem. As far as I know, the
jni.h files should be compatible with all other JDKs on the same
platforms so you only need to release one DLL/SO per platforms (like you
would if this was plain C) and it is then up to the user to make sure
the Postgres process has the right JRE DLL/SO in its PATH.

This shouldn't be too technically difficult to pull off.
