On your website it states that you offer JDBC support ...
PostgreSQL offers a multitude of connections and interfaces, including ODBC,
JDBC, C/C++, Perl, PHP, Python, Tcl, and others. It also supports a wide
variety of operating systems, including Linux, xBSD, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX,
Irix, NextStep, Windows NT/2000 and more.
I could not locate the JDBC driver in the download area of your website.
All I see is the ODBC driver. When you say you offer a JDBC connection
interface, do you mean only JDBC-ODBC bridge? If so, when will you offer a
native JDBC driver? Thanks.

Right.

We have a native JDBC driver. It is included in the distribution
tarball, in RPM and other packages, and is also available from Peter
Mount's web site (cross referenced from the Postgres website). The
latter will have more frequent releases than that of Postgres itself
(Peter is the principal author of the package).
I'm not finding the package cross references on our newly redesigned web
site. Vince? I recall you saying something about this just recently, but
my mind is a clean slate ;)

My fault. Somehow I had the url to interfaces pointing to projects
instead. The JDBC link and some other java stuff is in the users-lounge
at Interfacing to PostgreSQL.

The sources are in the main source tree (src/interfaces/jdbc).
Historically, I've kept pre-compiled binaries (in jar format) on my web
site:

Strictly speaking in JDBC terms the JDBC driver supplied with PostgreSQL is
not native. A JDBC native driver would have been implemented using C/C++
native code. The portable all Java driver supplied with PostgreSQL is a
more robust and reliable solution than most drivers relying on native
code...

It's native as in it's native to postgresql.
However in Java/JDBC terms, it's a Type 4 driver. This means its written in
pure java and uses the databases own network protocol for communication - it
doesn't use a middle tier (like the openlink driver does).
