O.k., my mistake. I'll rebuild the postgis poms. The stubs are only needed
for compiling the postgis JDBC drivers, they are using the stubs for
working around a class name visibility problem.

I guess I'll get around to that later tonight...

Aaaah, o.k. Thanks for finding this :-)

Yes, I produced the jar myself. I was planning on contributing the jar to
the postgis team, thanks for catching this error.

If you want to wait a few moments more, you should have a fixed postgis
jar latest tomorrow.
