A maven project for distributing PostgresQL binaries as Maven artifacts. 9.2.4 was already published to Maven Central. Older versions could be published as well.
Simple usage example (windows):
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.6</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>unpack-postgresql</id>
<phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>unpack</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifactItems>
<artifactItem>
<groupId>com.github.adrianboimvaser</groupId>
<artifactId>postgresql-dist</artifactId>
<classifier>windows</classifier>
<version>9.2.4</version>
<type>zip</type>
<overWrite>true</overWrite>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}</outputDirectory>
</artifactItem>
</artifactItems>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
