Subject: [Pljava-dev] status of pl/java with current postgres and JDK ?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; Format="flowed"

Its been several years since I've tried to deploy anything using pl/java 
and its rearing its ugly head again at my $job...  we have this one 
in-house component that was developed on oracle, which is known to work 
with postgres and pljava, that we need to bring up under newer currently 
supported systems in a reasonably painless process.

our platform is CentOS 6.x 64bit, we want to deploy using PostgreSQL 
9.4.latest, and would prefer to use OpenJDK supplied with the 
CentOS/RHEL, preferably java 1.7 or 1.8 as 1.6 is considered EOL.

last time I built pljava I remember having all sorts of problems with 
whatever postgres was latest at the time, as well as java.

so, my first question:  Have things been patched up so they work with 
current postgres/java ?


the deployment situation was awful too, we ended up having to deploy it 
manually and it was rather intricate, and in my $job case, this is 
particularly complex because the production systems administrators are 
in Asia, with a 9 hour time zone difference, I'm part of a US based 
development team.

I'd LOVE to see pljava packaged by pgdg as RPM's in their yum repository 
for the above versions, so deployment would be as simple as ...

     yum install postgresql94-{server,devel,contrib,pljava}

My 2nd question:   How far off is that from a possibility ?   Is this 
something that could be encouraged with a bounty or something?
