[Firebird-devel] Firebird v3.0.x support for External Functions plug-in

[Leyne, Sean]

The Firebird v3.0.x release notes outlines that plug-ins support has been 
added, and mentions that it will be extended to supporting SP, Functions and 
Triggers.

Was this ever implemented/completed?

{The Prague 2014 Firebird Conference had a "What's new in Firebird 3" 
presentation that listed "External functions, procedures and triggers on 
C\C++\Pascal\Java etc." as a Procedural SQL change}

We have tried to compile the Java Plug-in without success.
