This is far from dead. I works perfectly with java 1.7 and postgresql 9.3 ,
but you need maybe a little bit more extra homework + some skills with
maven.
If i managed to build this on a FreeBSD machine, in linux it should a piece of cake.
The docs suck, granted, but the community is very much alive and helpful.
We use it for production environment. We had some really complex Java code, that
we were unwilling to port to pl/pgsql, therefore we gave pl/java a try.
It was worth it. + it has proven to be really stable. No JVM crashes after 2 years in production.
