Yes, that's what I meant. I just wanted to reinforce the fact that you
don't need to bundle multiple JVMs (Oracle, OpenJDK and GCJ). You'd pick
one and bundle it alongside PG and pl/java.

I think a lawyer would have to pick apart the JRE redistribution license to confirm that this use case is acceptable... the catch-22 is that pljava is running user java modules, not just the software its being distributed with, and I'm not sure the redistribution license allows that.

specifically...

License  to   Distribute   Software.  Subject to ..., Oracle grants you ... license ... to ... distribute the Software ..., provided that (i) you distribute the Software ... only bundled as part of, and for the sole purpose of running, your Programs, (ii)...

its that 'sole purpose' part that I wonder about.   FWIW, thats from the JRE 6 binary license, I didn't find the 7 or 8 one in a quick google search.
