1. Java is not Open Source. It's an open standard, but not OS.
2. I understand that there are some serious limitations to the current
Postgres JDBC drivers. I have not used them, so I'm reporting rumor, here.
3. There are compatiblity issues between the various JVMs. We'd have to pick
a particular JVM and stick with it, and get a lot of complaints from users on
other JVMs. I don't know how serious the issues are.
