Thomas,
I'm starting to have second thoughts about this suggestion. I was
enthusiastic about it at the summit, but I was unaware of the sheer size
of PL/Java. 38,000 lines of code is 8% of the total size of Postgresql
... for *one* PL.
Dave Cramer acquainted me with some of the difficulties of doing a Java
PL today, and I understand why it needs to be that large. However,
38,000 lines of code -- much of it in a non-C language -- presents a
possible debugging/maintenance major headache, especially if you someday
left the project for some reason.
Maybe we do need to look at a plug-in build tool, instead.

This attitude does you no credit, Thomas.
