Disagreed. Putting them in the database is great for ad-hoc development.

If you can save your Java source and the Firebird Java plugin attempts
to compile it, return errors etc, this would be excellent, and pretty much
the same as the current PSQL Stored Procedures.

Now, if you decide on a final version of the source code, archive it in a
CVS.

IMO, being able to do a bit of Java code changing without having a Java
compiled installed - locally - would be a good thing.

Ease-of-use...
