Hi,

1.5.2 doesn't build on Jessie and Trusty anymore (JDK 7):

(There is another issue that apparently maven doesn't like running
several times in parallel, it chokes while reading/writing to ~/.m2.)


I've also enabled -Psaxon-examples - is it correct that no new files
appear in the .deb, but the examples are inside the existing
/usr/share/postgresql/11/pljava/pljava-examples-1.5.2.jar file?
