Automake provides some minimal support for Java compilation with the `JAVA' primary.
Any `.java' files listed in a `_JAVA' variable will be
compiled with JAVAC at build time. By default, `.class'
files are not included in the distribution.
Currently Automake enforces the restriction that only one `_JAVA' primary can be used in a given `Makefile.am'. The reason for this restriction is that, in general, it isn't possible to know which `.class' files were generated from which `.java' files -- so it would be impossible to know which files to install where.
