The jar file isn't built automatically in 7.0. You'll have to use:

	make jdbc2 jar

The reason for this is partly on how make works, and partly because of
the kludge we have for handling the different API versions (like
JDBC1.1, JDBC2 etc)

"I don't do Java" can change fairly easily; just pick up the java
tarball from blackdown.org or sun.com, untar it into /usr/local, then
set your path via

  set path=(/usr/local/jdk-xxx $path)

Go into src/interfaces/jdbc and type

  make jdbc2

then grab the jar file(s).

otoh, how close are you Peter (hope you see this; I've blown away
enough email to have lost your address) to posting a built jar file or
whatever is usually provided? Should we post this somewhere on
postgresql.org to help out? Should I post my recently built stuff?

Great!

Oops, my book says it will generate a postgresql.jar file.  If it isn't
going to that, I will have to change my book.

?? From fresh sources afaik:

[postgres@golem jdbc]$ make jdbc2 jar
(echo "package org.postgresql;" ;\
 echo "public class DriverClass {" ;\
 echo "public static String
connectClass=\"org.postgresql.jdbc2.Connection\";" ;\
 echo "}" \
) >org/postgresql/DriverClass.java

Seems a jar file does get built with "make jdbc2", but I'm not sure it
is the right one (being *much* more advanced than Lamar in the Java
world, I *make* Java, but don't actually *use* Java :)) ;)

As an aside, I thought Peter might find it interesting that we do have
a fairly large Java app at my work (JPL) to manage and build
configurations for a fancy hard real-time system for astronomical
optical interferometers. The app happens to use Postgres as a backend
for most deliveries ;) Keck Observatory will need it working with
Sybase since they long ago standardized on that...
