The java support was broken a while ago when we re-organized the build 
trees.   I don't have much time to work on this, but I would like to get 
it fixed.  The best approach might be a pure custom command approach. 
We could model it after the scons java support which is quite simple.  I 
am thinking of adding a module for java building into the Modules 
directory as java does not really fit our language type that well.

Anyone want to help?
