Recent automake snapshots have some support for Java.  

Have a look at http://www.cygnus.com/~green/gcj-xml4j-2.0.9-1.tar.gz .

I cooked this up some time ago for building IBM's XML4J.  It probably
doesn't work anymore (XML4J and GCJ have changed over time).

This assumes you have class and source files for everything already -
so it is not directly applicable, but it might be useful to look at.
