[Java-gnome-developer] java autoconf macros

[Mark H. <mh...@ca...>]

The gnu autoconf-archive has autoconf macros for findings a java
compiler, jar and javadoc. I've replaced our hacky code with this and
regenerated aclocal.m4 (and copied the required bits from
autoconf-archive into our source tree).=20

I've not been able to find a replacement for the AM_PATH_GCJ macro,
which checks the version of gcj. I have a feeling that this might be
what's causing the problems with some versions of autoconf, so it would
be good if we could find a replacement -- it would be great if gcj
people would create and maintain this.
