It hasn't been done yet, although about a month ago I did post a possible
way of allowing Java class files to be used as a languae for PostgreSQL.

You would need to use JNI and create a link between the backend(s) and a
running JVM. For performance reasons, I'd advise you have the JVM running
as a separate process to the backends.
