Some further progress information: It seems that the Java JDK 1.5.0 requires quite a few changes before it agrees to build. The JRL package seems not to include all files required to compile Java. These have to be loaned from the jdk1.5.0 distribution. I will try to make a proper list of all changes I have to make to get java compile cleanly.
