Depends on how you define "work". pljava wouldn't work without a
compiler, clearly, but is that Postgres? I don't think so; any more
than I consider Perl, Tcl, or Python to be part of Postgres.
One way to make the separation even clearer is to distribute pljava as
a separate project under a GPL or LGPL license. However, that would be
moderately annoying from a maintenance point of view, so I'd prefer not
to.
