When pointed to a later JRE, it allows a user to write and use Java functions using the latest language features. The build script allows a default value for libjvm_location to be built in. A package built for a platform with a standardized location for Java can build in an appropriate default, so the user experience of installing PL/Java is as simple as possible, and doesn't require setting the GUC first. A reasonable value for the default might be whatever version of Java would be installed by the target distro/release's default-java or similar package. That way, PL/Java could be installed in simple cases without pulling in another JRE if the default one is already there. A site that needs a different Java version could then download that and adjust the GUC accordingly. The PL/Java build instructions are here: http://tada.github.io/pljava/build/build.html ... and a page of tips specifically for packaging is here: http://tada.github.io/pljava/build/package.html I hope this new version can find a home in your repositories. If it gives you any difficulties, please let me know. Thanks! Chapman Flack ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 4+ messages in thread

I also omitted one detail. The new release has some optionally-built examples, built only if -Psaxon-examples is on the mvn command line. The switch should only be included when building for PG 8.4 or newer, and building with Java 8. When present, it will add the ~ 5 MB Saxon-HE-9.8.0.14.jar at build time (which Maven will automatically fetch, if not constrained to build offline). The jar will not be included in the built package, so it will become an optional run-time dependency. The related examples will still be included in the examples jar, and declared in PostgreSQL if the examples jar is loaded, but the Saxon-HE jar would have to be obtained and installed before they will work. It would be ideal to have the package built that way (whenever the PG version is >= 8.4), so that simply obtaining the Saxon jar will be the only extra step required for anyone interested in trying those examples.

Will push the packages in a few hours. Thanks! I looked in one of the rpms, and I noticed a few things: 1. It doesn't install these files in share/.../pljava: pljava--1.5.0--1.5.1.sql pljava--1.5.0-BETA1--1.5.1.sql pljava--1.5.0-BETA2--1.5.1.sql pljava--1.5.0-BETA3--1.5.1.sql pljava--1.5.1-BETA1--1.5.1.sql pljava--1.5.1-BETA2--1.5.1.sql pljava--1.5.1-BETA3--1.5.1.sql The build procedure probably tricked you there, because those files don't really exist in the build directory. They are all identical, simply copies of a prototype file pljava--.sql (which does not need to be installed under that name at all), and they just get inserted synthetically into the installer jar as it is built. You are bypassing the installer jar, so they just need to be made somehow. You could make copies or links at build time, or even just include one of them and make the remaining copies/links on the target system in a post-install script. But they have to be there, or ALTER EXTENSION pljava UPDATE won't work. 2. If -Dso.debug=true is added to the mvn command line, there will be debug symbols in libpljava-...so to allow for making a debuginfo rpm. 3. I notice this rpm does not include the pljava-examples...jar. Can there be a separate examples rpm then (or could the jar just be included in the main rpm)? A lot of the older examples are trivial things or tests, but there's a new one in this release that's nontrivial and useful (provides real SQL:2006+ XML Query support, which core PG still doesn't have). Some people might actually have reasons to want to install that one. It is not built unless -Psaxon-examples is on the mvn command line. It is optional because it must be left out when building for PG 8.3 or 8.2. But it is usable in any of the current supported releases.
