Yeah, it seemed pretty obvious from the error you were running into in
your last message that you'll need to do your own PostgreSQL build here
first, then add pl/java on top of that. Binary packages aren't
necessarily good at giving you everything needed to build your
extensions, and even if it did build I'd be suspicious of it until it
passed testing.

You can see more about how the OpenSolaris packages are built at
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/sfw/usr/src/cmd/postgres/ ;
Makefile.sfw in particular might have clues as to what's going wrong
here. There are separate code paths in several places there for 32 vs.
64 bit builds, and you seem to have run into a divergence between the two.

As for mailing lists, you can try
http://lists.pgfoundry.org/pipermail/pljava-dev/ for things specific to
building it.
