JDBC project / CVS moving to GBorg ...

Over the next two weeks, JDBC will be joining the other interfaces (ODBC,
C++, etC) that have been moved out of the core repository over to GBorg
...

Like the other interfaces into PostgreSQL, this will allow it to have its
own development/release cycle, allowing improvements to get out into the
public domain in a more timely manner ...

I will send out a note just before I actually move CVS over to the new
project site, and, like the other moves we've done, it will include the
full CVS files, so that none of the history stuff will be lost ...

What does everyone think about this?

If it has to move, there are other options besides gborg.

codehaus.org is one, they have all the tools installed already to build
the driver, and the exposure there may be beneficial.

The opportunity to goto a Maven build exists there too. This is one step
better than ant.

Please feel free to express your opinions on this matter, good or bad.
This will likely happen in the next 2 weeks regardless.

I'm not familiar with either of those, but as long as the move doesn't
inhibit JDBC development (and I can't imagine that it would), I wouldn't
be concerned either way. I'm curious why SF.net is not an option,
simply because that is where I've noticed most open source projects are
stored. And if exposure is a factor, what about java.net? (I didn't
realize there were any other Postgres JDBC drivers.)

I understand the benefits of Maven but are a lot of people using it?

I am not using a CVS build, so my opinion should be taken with a grain
of salt, but presumably any changes that affect the CVS build will
eventually affect us binary users.

sf.net is generally considered to be a PITA, most folks have moved away
from it.

gborg is postgres's version of sf.net
codehaus.org is a relatively new site devoted primarily to java
development.

yes, at least most people I know. Either way it doesn't matter, most
maven projects keep the ant build file around for ant as well.

Everyone's opinion matters.

Having the driver @ codehaus.org would be an excellent addition to the
suite of projects that already lives there.

Is Maven something that we can install?

Tom Lane brought up a point to me this aft in favor of leaving the status
quo for this release ... something about v7.3 JDBC driver not working with
a v7.4 server, so I'm not going to push on doing this pre-v7.4 ...
