I would include Java 1.8 (e.g. recent build such as jdk1.8.0_221.

This is because some capabilities of NetBeans (e.g.  Native packaging) still require running under Java 1.8.

Regards

David

== PostgreSQL versions to build for

Also, the newer branch targets a narrower range of PostgreSQL versions.
The obvious starting point would be the versions currently shown as
'supported' in the PostgreSQL versioning policy:

https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/  i.e., 12 back to 9.5.

The branch may build successfully for a couple of versions before 9.5.
I know the 'validator' PR knocked out pre-9.0 versions. When it comes
time to announce PL/Java 1.6, we might choose to say it works back
to PG 9.4, 9.3, or 9.2, if it works for those releases without extra fuss.

9.2 is a good stopping place, because the REL1_5_STABLE installation docs
have an extra section for installing on pre-9.2 versions, and that could
go away.

Should I add checks for a PostgreSQL version from each major version or just for one from the latest major version and the oldest version supported ? Like just test with 9.5 and 12.x . Same question with Java versions. Is testing with Java 9 and Java 14 (the latest java release) is enough ? Or each of java versions in between Java 9 and 14 should be tested as well.
