Pavel>I must admit that it all sounds terribly complicated process
Pavel>to build pgjdbc from source
I must admit you exaggerate here.
Building pgjdbc is **just** a single `mvn install` command.
As you miss pgjdbc-parent-poms (it is your choice to miss it in the
first place), you need to get pgjdbc-parent-poms sources, then `mvn
install` it.
pgjdbc-parent-poms are at GitHub's releases page (see [1])
Is is that complicated?

I'm not sure if end-user applications would work if you skip packaging
of pgjdbc-parent-poms.
To install pgjdbc-parent-poms locally, see [2].

Pavel>so complicated project like PostgreSQL server itself
It is like a single command that works in all the supported operation
systems and downloads all the dependencies?
I'm afraid, it is not.
