1. Java is not Open Source.  It's an open standard, but not OS.

2. I understand that there are some serious limitations to the current
Postgres JDBC drivers.   I have not used them, so I'm reporting rumor, here.

3. There are compatiblity issues between the various JVMs.  We'd have to pick
a particular JVM and stick with it, and get a lot of complaints from users on
other JVMs.  I don't know how serious the issues are.
