-#
-#   AX_CHECK_JAVA_HOME
-#
-# DESCRIPTION
-#
-#   Check for Sun Java (JDK / JRE) installation, where the 'java' VM is in.
-#   If found, set environment variable JAVA_HOME = Java installation home,
-#   else left JAVA_HOME untouch, which in most case means JAVA_HOME is
-#   empty.

-# SYNOPSIS
-#
-#   AX_CHECK_JAVA_PLUGIN(<shell-variable>)
-#
-# DESCRIPTION
-#
-#   This macro sets <shell-variable> to empty on failure and to a compatible
-#   version of plugin.jar otherwise. Directories searched are /usr/java/*
-#   and /usr/local/java/*, which are assumed to be j{dk,re} installations.
-#   Apply the shell variable as you see fit. If sun changes things so
-#   <jre>/lib/plugin.jar is not the magic file it will stop working.
-#
-#   This macro assumes that unzip, zipinfo or pkzipc is available (and can
-#   list the contents of the jar archive). The first two are assumed to work
-#   similarly enough to the infozip versisonms. The pkzipc version is
-#   assumed to work if I undertstand the documentation on pkware's site but
-#   YMMV. I do not have access to pwkware's version to test it.

-# SYNOPSIS
-#
-#   AX_JAVA_CHECK_CLASS(<class>,<action-if-found>,<action-if-not-found>)
-#
-# DESCRIPTION
-#
-#   Test if a Java class is available. Based on AX_PROG_JAVAC_WORKS. This
-#   version uses a cache variable which is both compiler, options and
-#   classpath dependent (so if you switch from javac to gcj it correctly
-#   notices and redoes the test).
-#
-#   The macro tries to compile a minimal program importing <class>. Some
-#   newer compilers moan about the failure to use this but fail or produce a
-#   class file anyway. All moaing is sunk to /dev/null since I only wanted
-#   to know if the class could be imported. This is a recommended followup
-#   to AX_CHECK_JAVA_PLUGIN with classpath appropriately adjusted.

-# SYNOPSIS
-#
-#   AX_PROG_JAVA
-#
-# DESCRIPTION
-#
-#   Here is a summary of the main macros:
-#
-#   AX_PROG_JAVAC: finds a Java compiler.
-#
-#   AX_PROG_JAVA: finds a Java virtual machine.
-#
-#   AX_CHECK_CLASS: finds if we have the given class (beware of CLASSPATH!).
-#
-#   AX_CHECK_RQRD_CLASS: finds if we have the given class and stops
-#   otherwise.
-#
-#   AX_TRY_COMPILE_JAVA: attempt to compile user given source.
-#
-#   AX_TRY_RUN_JAVA: attempt to compile and run user given source.
-#
-#   AX_JAVA_OPTIONS: adds Java configure options.
-#
-#   AX_PROG_JAVA tests an existing Java virtual machine. It uses the
-#   environment variable JAVA then tests in sequence various common Java
-#   virtual machines. For political reasons, it starts with the free ones.
-#   You *must* call [AX_PROG_JAVAC] before.
-#
-#   If you want to force a specific VM:
-#
-#   - at the configure.in level, set JAVA=yourvm before calling AX_PROG_JAVA
-#
-#     (but after AC_INIT)
-#
-#   - at the configure level, setenv JAVA
-#
-#   You can use the JAVA variable in your Makefile.in, with @JAVA@.
-#
-#   *Warning*: its success or failure can depend on a proper setting of the
-#   CLASSPATH env. variable.
-#
-#   TODO: allow to exclude virtual machines (rationale: most Java programs
-#   cannot run with some VM like kaffe).
-#
-#   Note: This is part of the set of autoconf M4 macros for Java programs.
-#   It is VERY IMPORTANT that you download the whole set, some macros depend
-#   on other. Unfortunately, the autoconf archive does not support the
-#   concept of set of macros, so I had to break it for submission.

-# SYNOPSIS
-#
-#   AX_PROG_JAVA_CC
-#
-# DESCRIPTION
-#
-#   Finds the appropriate java compiler on your path. By preference the java
-#   compiler is gcj, then jikes then javac.
-#
-#   The macro can take one argument specifying a space separated list of
-#   java compiler names.
-#
-#   For example:
-#
-#     AX_PROG_JAVA_CC(javac, gcj)
-#
-#   The macro also sets the compiler options variable: JAVA_CC_OPTS to
-#   something sensible:
-#
-#    - for GCJ it sets it to: @GCJ_OPTS@
-#      (if GCJ_OPTS is not yet defined then it is set to "-C")
-#
-#    - no other compiler has applicable options yet
-#
-#   Here's an example configure.in:
-#
-#     AC_INIT(Makefile.in)
-#     AX_PROG_JAVA_CC()
-#     AC_OUTPUT(Makefile)
-#     dnl End.
-#
-#   And here's the start of the Makefile.in:
-#
-#     PROJECT_ROOT      := @srcdir@
-#     # Tool definitions.
-#     JAVAC             := @JAVA_CC@
-#     JAVAC_OPTS        := @JAVA_CC_OPTS@
-#     JAR_TOOL          := @jar_tool@

-# SYNOPSIS
-#
-#   AX_PROG_JAVAC
-#
-# DESCRIPTION
-#
-#   AX_PROG_JAVAC tests an existing Java compiler. It uses the environment
-#   variable JAVAC then tests in sequence various common Java compilers. For
-#   political reasons, it starts with the free ones.
-#
-#   If you want to force a specific compiler:
-#
-#   - at the configure.in level, set JAVAC=yourcompiler before calling
-#   AX_PROG_JAVAC
-#
-#   - at the configure level, setenv JAVAC
-#
-#   You can use the JAVAC variable in your Makefile.in, with @JAVAC@.
-#
-#   *Warning*: its success or failure can depend on a proper setting of the
-#   CLASSPATH env. variable.
-#
-#   TODO: allow to exclude compilers (rationale: most Java programs cannot
-#   compile with some compilers like guavac).
-#
-#   Note: This is part of the set of autoconf M4 macros for Java programs.
-#   It is VERY IMPORTANT that you download the whole set, some macros depend
-#   on other. Unfortunately, the autoconf archive does not support the
-#   concept of set of macros, so I had to break it for submission. The
-#   general documentation, as well as the sample configure.in, is included
-#   in the AX_PROG_JAVA macro.

-# SYNOPSIS
-#
-#   AX_TRY_COMPILE_JAVA
-#
-# DESCRIPTION
-#
-#   AX_TRY_COMPILE_JAVA attempt to compile user given source.
-#
-#   *Warning*: its success or failure can depend on a proper setting of the
-#   CLASSPATH env. variable.
-#
-#   Note: This is part of the set of autoconf M4 macros for Java programs.
-#   It is VERY IMPORTANT that you download the whole set, some macros depend
-#   on other. Unfortunately, the autoconf archive does not support the
-#   concept of set of macros, so I had to break it for submission. The
-#   general documentation, as well as the sample configure.in, is included
-#   in the AX_PROG_JAVA macro.
