2 different things, ISTM. I don't think the PG group should touch a port 
to Java - it would be a huge distraction. If someone (say, Ivelin) wants 
to do it, good luck to them. PL/Java would be way cool, though, and have 
very significant appeal, and is very much worth doing, I believe. (Not 
that I have the time to do it.)
