As far as I understand it, this is the end-user's problem (to be documented) as opposed to a development problem. As far as I know, the jni.h files should be compatible with all other JDKs on the same platforms so you only need to release one DLL/SO per platforms (like you would if this was plain C) and it is then up to the user to make sure the Postgres process has the right JRE DLL/SO in its PATH.
This shouldn't be too technically difficult to pull off. Gili On 17/09/2014 6:26 PM, John R Pierce [via PostgreSQL] wrote: > On 9/17/2014 3:07 PM, cowwoc wrote: > > > > Can you be more specific?
