pl/java uses JNI, and a JVM per connection, which also means that the
JVM must run on the same machine as the server, both of these are
showstoppers for me. On the other hand it is simple.
pl-j uses an RPC mechanism to call the function remotely. This means
that the JVM can be anywhere, and you don't need a 1-1 mapping of
connections to JVM's
I will warn you that it may be broken at the moment, but I'm fairly
sure that Laszlo could be coerced into fixing it.
