Thread: pl/java on Solaris

I am migrating an 8.3 database from Windows to Solaris.  We are using
pl/java and I went through the installation process for this on Windows.

I'm building Solaris from the source and when running ./configure, I
don't see a switch to include pl/java.  Java is in my path too so it
should allow me to install it (if it follows the same pattern as
Windows).

I don't see a pljava file in my share directory like I do on Windows.
Is pl/java not included when compiling from source?

here is the user doc from cvs.  I might help.

pl/java is not part of core like pl/pgPerl... You need to download it separately
from http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pljava/

PL/java[1] is a separate PL project, not builtin to PostgreSQL. I don't
know about official Windows installation binaries, they would be
bringing it by default.

The Windows installer actually aggregates quite a few projects besides
core PG.  If you want to build from source you'll need to collect a
number of tarballs, depending on what features you were using.  The
installer documentation can probably tell you where they all came from.
