From reading the error message I'd suggest, either you have the hostname
and port incorrect, correct use is:

DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:postgresql://[host]:[port]/[db_name]",
"[username]", "[password]");

Or you're not running postmaster with the -i flag, I use:

postmaster -i -p [port] -D [data directory]

If it's neither of those, then I'm sorry for being patronising.

Hope this helps,
