Giving credit where credit is due, this is Mark Liyanage's simple java
program, from www.entorpy.ch.  It was written for OS X, but there
shouldn't be a problem.

 * The TestPostgreSQL class shows how to access the PostgreSQL
 * DB server on Mac OS X using the JDBC interface.
 * It assumes the installation has been performed according
 * to the instructions at http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql.
 *
 *
 * You compile it like this:
 *
 *   % javac TestPostgreSQL.java
 *
 * Make sure that the PostgreSQL server has been
 * started with the -i flag. This is not the case in
 * the example lines of the installation instructions mentioned
 * above and in the StartupItem package that's available
 * from the same location. The -i flag tells the DB server
 * to listen for connection requests from the network
 * and I have left it off by default for security reasons.
 *
 * If the server is running correctly (with -i), run the Test like this:
 * (in the same directory where you compiled the example)
 *
 *   % java -classpath /usr/local/pgsql/share/java/postgresql.jar:. TestPostgreSQL
 *
 * You should see the current date as returned by the DB server:
 *
 *   2001-06-23 16:31:49+02
