I tried using Jessie yesterday with no success. This morning I decided
to read the documentation again to see if I was doing things
correctly. Then I discovered the real issue...The documentation is not
correct for the addProvider method. It should read:

java.security.Security.addProvider(new org.metastatic.jessie.provider.Jessie());

(the provider package is not mentioned in the documentation)

I am sure with the latest version they just moved some classes around.
Anyway I am now able to connect to Postgres remotely over SSL with
GCJ. Here is my connection code encase it is useful for anybody else.

java.security.Security.addProvider(new org.metastatic.jessie.provider.Jessie());

Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
String url = "jdbc:postgresql://server/database";
Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty("user","na");
props.setProperty("password","na");
props.setProperty("ssl","true");
props.setProperty("sslfactory", "org.postgresql.ssl.NonValidatingFactory");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, props);

Thank you for your help.
