Re: [pgjdbc] Implement JDBC specs via pre-processor step (#435)

It is really similar with Fedora (maven part).

However we also miss waffle-jna. It's rather easy to patch, but do you think it would be possible to make it optional?

For example with jcp (we have already packaged it). I have tried it, but I am not able to pass OS condition into if
part.

What do you think? Both Fedora and Debian packagers would profit from generic patch.

I have some experience packaging for Debian in the Java team. The consensus
is that Maven is preferred, but each dependency a package has, must itself
be built from source and therefore available as a Debian package.

The only dependency not available in Debian is waffle-jna. Given this is an
authentication provider for Windows it will never get packaged, so the
maintainer will have to patch this out of pgjdbc in order to package the
latest version of the driver.
