[Gdal-dev] Recent changes related to the Java bindings

[Tamas Szekeres]

Folks,

I've made the first attempt to add the java related build steps to the
buildbot configuration. Currently I've focused only on the Windows
builders and my effort was eventually successful,
http://buildbot.osgeo.org:8500/

In exchange for this addition I had to move the contents of the
java.opt file into nmake.opt because it was pretty unmanageable in
that fashion. I've added the following section in nmake.opt

# SWIG Java settings
!IFNDEF JAVA_HOME
JAVA_HOME = c:\j2sdk1.4.2_12
!ENDIF
!IFNDEF ANT_HOME
ANT_HOME=c:\programmi\apache-ant-1.7.0
!ENDIF
JAVADOC=$(JAVA_HOME)\bin\javadoc
JAVAC=$(JAVA_HOME)\bin\javac
JAVA=$(JAVA_HOME)\bin\java
JAR=$(JAVA_HOME)\bin\jar
JAVA_INCLUDE=-I$(JAVA_HOME)\include -I$(JAVA_HOME)\include\win32

I've encapsulated the default  JAVA_HOME, ANT_HOME parameters into
IFNDEF-s so these values can be given at the nmake command line or in
an external file according to the EXT_NMAKE_OPT settings.
I've also removed all !INCLUDE-s for the java.opt in the Windows makefiles.

I haven't dealt with the GNU builds so far, however java.opt is also
included in the GNU makefile. Howard and I would like to see this
stuff disappearing one day when the configure stuff will be extended
by identifying the JAVA locations. Howard added a ticket for this
change:
