Gcj is OK with PL/Java, albeit slower then the more common JVM's from
Sun, IBM, or BEA. Unfortunately, Gcj's security implementation is not
complete and that results in that the PL/Java + Gcj combination has the
same issue that PL/Python has. It can't be trusted.
PL/Java relies on standard java security to provide support for the
"trusted" handler. At present, it doesn't function correctly using Gcj.
I've asked the Gcj team when they think they will have this and the
reply that they hope to have it sometime 2005.
