I don't think trust or scaling or implementation languages are the real issue.
It has been established that for a variety of reasons, smalls tools that can
be combined work better than one big tool. That is why the Linux kernel does
not contain a windowing system.
The issue you are facing is an issue of perception. There are a number of
ways to fix that, only one of which is including PL/Java into the PostgreSQL
source distribution. I was on the other side of the debate when we kicked
out the JDBC driver, but today I think this was the best thing that could
have happened, to both sides. If you see any measures that we could take to
make PL/Java look as good in the public eye as the JDBC driver -- certainly
that is a reasonable comparison -- then I'm sure we can address them.
