how to copy data from file to PostgreSQL using JDBC?

This works...

import java.io.FileReader;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;

import org.postgresql.copy.CopyManager;
import org.postgresql.core.BaseConnection;

public class PgSqlJdbcCopyStreamsExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        if(args.length!=4) {
            System.out.println("Please specify database URL, user, password and file on the command line.");
            System.out.println("Like this: jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/test test password file");
        } else {

            System.err.println("Loading driver");
            Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");

            System.err.println("Connecting to " + args[0]);
            Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(args[0],args[1],args[2]);

            System.err.println("Copying text data rows from stdin");

            CopyManager copyManager = new CopyManager((BaseConnection) con);

            FileReader fileReader = new FileReader(args[3]);
            copyManager.copyIn("COPY t FROM STDIN", fileReader );

            System.err.println("Done.");
        }
    }
}

(based on aliasmrchips' answer:) if you have a Groovy environment (like me using it within ANT) you could do it like this (substituting the Oracle specifics with Postgres):

// exec.groovy
this.class.classLoader.rootLoader.addURL('${postgres-jdbc-driver-path}')
PgScript.load()

// PgScript.groovy
// (we cannot use the org.postgres.* classes in exec.groovy already!)
import java.io.FileReader
import java.sql.DriverManager
import org.postgresql.copy.CopyManager
import org.postgresql.core.BaseConnection

class PgScript {
    static void load() {        

        DriverManager.getConnection (
            '${jdbc-db-url}', '${db-usr}', '${db-usr-pass}'
        ).withCloseable {conn ->
            new CopyManager((BaseConnection) conn).
                copyIn('COPY t FROM STDIN', new FileReader('${sqlfile}'))
        }
    }
}
