Patch for jdbc Makefile

Any JDBC people want to comment on this?

Hi all!

Attached is a small patch for src/interfaces/jdbc/Makefile. It sets
the CLASSPATH to "." before running javac and also before running
'java utils.CheckVersion'; otherwise, the user must do this themselves
or get "class not found" error messages.

The patch is applied by

patch < patch.Makefile

run in src/interfaces/jdbc.

Makefile is obsolete in 7.1, as is CheckVersion ;-)

Makefile is still part of the 7.1.x CVS tree, though...
Are you intending on ditching the Makefile completely and opting for an
ant-only Java build?

I'm still using the Makefile, but it would not bother me to switch to ant
if that's the way it will be, and ant will be more robust.

However, I'm confused by what is probably a documentation bug concerning
java.lang.Byte in the build.xml file. Should this bit of documentation be
updated? The code does not appear to deal with java.lang.Byte at all.

<!--
This is a simpler method than utils.CheckVersion
It defaults to jdbc1, but builds jdbc2 if the java.lang.Byte class is
in the CLASSPATH (ie JDK1.2 or later), and then enterprise if the
javax.sql.DataSource class is present.

Important: This must have the following order: jdbc1, jdbc2, enterprise
-->
<target name="check_versions">
<available property="jdk1.2+" classname="java.lang.ThreadLocal" />
<available property="jdk1.3+" classname="java.lang.StrictMath" />
<available property="jdk1.2e+" classname="javax.sql.DataSource" />
</target>

Yes. I've left it in there for now, but I've been debating on if we should
remove it completely for 7.1. Personally I think we should, but I didn't want
to hit everyone without fair warning.

It's way more robust. In fact I'm looking at getting configure to detect ant
and get the top level makefile to run it as part of the main build.

Also, our build.xml files also support installation, so "make install" can
install the .jar files into the PG_LIB directory.

However, I'm confused by what is probably a documentation bug
concerning
java.lang.Byte in the build.xml file. Should this bit of documentation

Yes. No time for 7.1 for this, but I was thinking of splitting the monolithic
jdbc.sgml file up, as there's a lot of outdated stuff in it, and a lot of
undocumented stuff to go into it.

You haven't seen the stuff I'm donating into /contrib yet ;-)
