solved: Re: cannot install JDBC with ORACLE jdk1.8.0

Re Daniel,

thanks for your hint. In principle this was the solution, but the other way round:
The provider of our software included a suitable pgjdbc version in their package
so there is no need any more to install/update pgjdbc in advance.

@Jeremy
Running 60 storage servers here with OracleJDK installed. Not recommended to
quickly switch to different software/setup if running well. ;-)

Cheers

Anton
