Some notable changes I forgot to mention are in the release notes, here:

http://tada.github.io/pljava/releasenotes.html#Conveniences_for_downstream_package_maintainers

The changes are intended to help those who maintain PL/Java prebuilt
packages for various distributions tailor the build appropriately
without having to patch the source. One, the -Dpljava.libjvmdefault=
on the mvn command line, allows the package maintainer to build in
a usually-correct default for pljava.libjvm_location when building
for a distribution that has a known, conventional location for Java.

Users of such a package can avoid fussing with pljava.libjvm_location,
and have CREATE EXTENSION pljava; just work.

A whole new section intended for package maintainers has been added
to the build docs.
