Thank you for your contribution. However, for some reason it does not seem to appear in my version of the Software Centre and I find that strange as I have two separate desktops. More to the point I cannot find much of interest in either of my Software Centres, only toys - certainly nothing to do with either java development or Postgresql. However, sorry for the moans, but many thanks. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
