1) The Java runtime is always copied to /usr/local/lib by make install. It
does not pay any attention to my --prefix argument to configure. I also tried setting --libdir and --datarootdir but they made no difference.


Do we really even want "make install" to do anything for Java? I'd say open
a ticket.


I believe there's a --java-prefix option to configure. Unless that's part of
a JIRA that hasn't been committed yet that I patched in locally :)


There's nothing documented in configure --help for this.

I tried using it and saw no difference, so you must have a local patch.

One other thing I noticed in this testing is that I keep getting javadoc creation errors because it says:

[javadoc] javadoc: error - Destination directory not writable / prefix/dir/path/java/build/javadoc

which is sort of a lie because the directory it names just doesn't exist. So the javadoc generation uses --prefix badly and the library install doesn't use it at all. :-)
