I will look soon.

I agree that a Cartesian product of PG versions and Java versions would
be more than necessary. What is important is to confirm that every
supported PG version works (built with some Java version), and every
supported Java version can be used to build (with some PG version).

Ideally, that much would be confirmed on each supported platform.

I don't think I have ever run into an interaction effect between the
Java version and the PG version (it would be quite unexpected, as those
two things on their own don't know about each other).

Thanks!
