Christine,

A more appropriate solution is to run configure to make the GDALmake.opt
file from GDALmake.opt.in.

You will need to have SWIG installed to generate the bindings.  I believe
a very recent version is required though I'm not sure exactly what version
that is.

I'm afraid building the java bindings is likely to be complicated.
