PL/Java brings functions, triggers, aggregates, types, operators, etc.
in Java.

1.6.5 is the fifth minor update in the 1.6 series, for applications on
PostgreSQL 9.5 or later and Java 9 or later. Legacy applications 
requiring
older PostgreSQL or Java versions are supported by the 1.5 series.

1.6.5 adds support for PostgreSQL 15 and fixes some bugs, with few other
notable changes. Further information on the changes may be found below.

Upcoming changes in Java beyond version 17 will affect PL/Java. For more
on those changes and how PL/Java will adapt, please bookmark the JEP 411
topic[1] on the PL/Java wiki.

Current users of a 1.5.x release should also review the 1.6 series
release notes for changes that may require attention before updating to 
1.6.
