The official JDBC driver is not being shipped with the project for exactly the same reasons, I fail to see any compelling reason to ship either java PL.
IMHO, we should be shipping the JDBC driver... but that's another matter entirely.
Unless we are going to create a complete distribution with a unified build, or at least a way to build each project (which I am in favour of) then we leave the server to itself and all other projects exist separately.
This still doesn't solve the longstanding issue of what we do include and what we don't... and more importantly, the process for determining what to include and what not to. The Java PL discussion could be the same as say, OBDC drivers... where multiple projects exist and each has pros/cons. When someone downloads the PostgreSQL server on Windows... we know they're probably going to be using ODBC... so we should ship it; but which one? How do we determine which one as a community? Eventually we need to evolve a little bit and tackle these types of issues; I don't think gborg or pgfoundry are the best places for high-profile, commonly used PostgreSQL drivers, PLs, or functions. -- Jonah H.
