[Pljava-dev] Status of PL/Java with GCJ

Hi all,

Using PL/Java with GCJ will not work as of 2.0 - which will hopefully be
released soon.

This is due to PL/Java being JDBC4 only now and the classpath project
does not contain all the JDBC4 interfaces. Supporting JDK 1.4 or 1.5
has been discontinued as they have already been end of lifed by Sun (now
Oracle).

To use PL/Java with GCJ your options are:

1. Convince the classpath project to finish implementing the JDBC4
interfaces and classes.

2. Contribute this work yourself.

3. Sponsor the work through in independent 3rd party developer. This
will probably work best with someone who has contributed to the project
before.

4. Negotiate a contract with 2ndQuadrant to sponsor this work.

For more information on the classpath project and the status of the
JDBC4 interfaces see
