   HI Herbert,   
      
   CC: OS/2 User and eCS Applications.   
      
      
   [Seems the Yahoo webmail insists on top post, oh well.]   
      
   I do know of eCS and have an unused licensed copy of 2.0 (since I had a sof=   
   tware subscription back in the 1.2 days).=A0 I also know of the PostgreSQL =   
   9.0 port.   
      
      
   PL/Java is independent of both PostgreSQL and its JDBC driver.=A0 It is an =   
   extension that runs Java code *inside* the database.=A0 It requires Java 1.=   
   4 (current release) though I have only built and tested with 1.5 so far and=   
    CVS is 1.6 only.=A0 It uses JNI to load the Java virtual machine and hence=   
    requires the JNI to be compatible with native OS/2 code.=A0 Something I'm =   
   not sure the Odinized current Java 1.6 is.=A0 And I'm not in a position to =   
   test it now.=A0 I have the feeling it will only run with the Golden Code Ja=   
   va 1.4 - but again, I'm not in a position to test.   
      
   If there is no one using it on OS/2 it is a waste of effort to try to suppo=   
   rt it.=A0 Currently the build support is just cruft that's in the way and b=   
   it rotting.   
      
   If and only if a C application built the same way as the PostgreSQL server =   
   is able to use Java 1.6 JNI to create a virtual machine with the JNI_Create=   
   JavaVM() function call will I make any effort to continue OS/2 support.=A0 =   
   I can provide some technical support (including source code) for anyone wil=   
   ing to create a test application for this.   
      
   Nothing short of a support contract with 2ndQuadrant make me support anythi=   
   ng older than Java 1.6 since 1.5 has been end-of-lifed.=A0 Though I might s=   
   till accept patches.

   eComStation as successor of OS/2 is not only under maintenance but under ac=   
   tive developement. So OS/2 is far from dead.   
      
   Yes, IBM has dropped support and distribution of OS/2.   
      
   There are lots of eComStation users who need active support of=A0 PostgreSQ=   
   L and Java asi it is needed for the OS/2/eComStation.   
      
   Please try a look at the official. home of eComStation
