Taking a step back here, I see two points in favor of including PL/Java or
something like it into the main CVS:
1. Build farm support
It seems that eventually one would like to have build farm support for many
things. I can see build farm support being useful for the ODBC driver or
Postgis, for instance. We need a better, more general solution for that.
2. Help with PL API changes
On the one hand, that seems great, but on the other hand, I see a lot of
people disqualifying themselves from touching PL/Java code in any significant
way because they don't know Java well enough. So I don't see this working in
practice. Or at least, it's quite doubtful that the convenience gained in
this area will outweigh any inconveniences coming from this move.
